So I bought really nice led lights for my 2008 acura tl, I took out the old fog light and apparently my new bulb is just too fat for the metal housing inside....

What do i do? I see there is a screw there but I have no clue how to open the fog light housing?

Need help asap!

Do you understand my problem tho? My led doesn't fit inside the housing because the led bulb is much fatter then a regular bulb...

It fits thru the opening good, but the metal piece doesn't let the bulb go all the way inside

I'm talking about the metal ring inside the housing

You may not like the advice but that's exactly what you need to do. buy something that fits. you better off buy another set than messing with the light housing.

This sounds like a very serious problem.

An even more serious problem, would be the light output from those bulbs.
I'm pretty sure my turn signal bulbs are brighter.
