Tyc fog lights HID problem

[214martin]

Hey guys so im trying to put HIDs in my tyc fog lights i just ordered but ran into a problem. The HID is too long and it doesnt go in all the way so i cant secure it with the pin. Here are some pics. Any ideas on what to do here?

That black thing is whats blocking me.

Start clearancing with a Drexel and make it fit.

H3 HIDs? You probably need H3c. What's the bulb hitting?

Whats h3c?

It hits some black shield the headlights have inside. You can see it on the first pid

Try to see if any of the (red arrow) tabs bends up, to remove the bulb housing (yellow). If you can get it out, grind off the rivets (green) and the shield should pop right off.

If not, like Keepinitoldskool said - break out the Dremel and start grinding!

I tried and no they dont bend out unless i wasnt trying to hard but i doubt it. Ima just see of the h3c bulb will work. I just gotta find where they sell them

If you've already got everything else needed, you can usually pick up just the HID bulbs for around $10/pair on eBay. I had some 9006 HIDs in my PIAA fogs and swapped them out to the correct H3c 4300k HIDs and it made a huge difference.
