ijdmtoy LED DRL install problem

Hey guys,

I have a question. I tried changing out my DRLs to LEDs today. I was able to get the driver's side in no problem but for the life of me I can't install the passenger's side in. I have big hands and I just can't get my hand in far enough to lock it into place. I even jacked the car up and went in from underneath on the passengers side where the the fog light is and reached all the way up but I still couldn't get the LED to lock into the headlight housing. I don't know what to do I just have it dangling inside the headlight housing. Am I missing something? I tried for a hour. I gave up. Please help.

You mean take the wheel off and bend back the plastic fender liner inside the wheel well? I didn't even think of that. Thanks HEAVY RL. I thought I was going to lose my mind today. I figured it would be a piece of cake. I swapped out my fogs and put HIDs in.

Yes sir, that's exactly how I would do it.
Some times you have to step away to figure it out.

No, no, no....take the radiator expansion tank out...

...it just lifts out and provides you with terrific access to the passenger side foglight. You'll be able to reach the bulb with either hand and manipulate it as you need.
