They just wont go i, it looks like the cover at the back of the bulb and leads would stop it from going in?

Let me guess, you're attempting to put HID Bulbs into reflector housing? Are you using the adapter you need?

Answer my question, are you trying to fit the HID bulb into the standard headlamp housing?

Do you have the correct adapter for the sizing?

I think what has happened, is they have bought the bulb thinking its a straight fit into the standard headlight  :popcornsoda:

I'm guessing that, I was trying to get them to twig that by answering my question, which they avoided.

I think with all due respect to the OP. He should just return them.....
