Hid help

I know there's another post below about HID's but mine is about the installation process. I managed to pop off the cover on the passenger side and installed it but it wouldn't come off on the driver side. Any tips on how to take the driver side off? I hate how the factory tightens things up so much. Driving with halogen driver and HID passenger at the moment LOL.

If you don't know what I mean, it's the white/grey circle cover. This is just a random pic from online, the base model has wires coming out of the middle of the cover.

Yup I know which part you're referring to. It has an oring which adds friction to it.

I'm afraid it's just a lot of hand and finger strength to twist and pop it off.

ipribadi, did you do the HID conversion? What temperature did you get? I have a 5000k kit, it looks a little off from OEM but it'll do.

I have the 4,300K kit and that's funny as I'm actually tempted to go with the 5,000K bulbs as the 4,300K still has a slight hint of yellow (which is just like OEM) and these new cars with LED headlights are closer to 5,000K color.
