Hey man, I've had the same problem before. The little spring wire that holds the HID in place goes into a little tiny hook. What I did was get a buddy and one of those really bright emergency lights to I could see better. Once I was able to see a bit better I was able to hook it into place. One more thing, the wire might have gotten slightly bent during the removal of the old lights. If so, gently bend it back into position with some needle nose pliers. Hope this helps!

Hey I was trying to change my bulbs the other day but I couldn't get the olds ones out. I removed the wires easily but could not get the bulb to twist out. 45 degrees counter clock wise, I know, but I still can't get them out, any suggestions from when you guys did it would be awesome! Thanks

You need to disconnect the bulb from the ballast before removing them from the wires. The wires hold the bulb still so that you are able to disconnect them.
