Default 1998 Lexus Es300 HID problems

I recently bought an HID conversion kit for my car and and the bulbs do not want to clip in. It seems as though there needs to be a spacer for the bulb to be clipped in by the piece that looks like a paper clip. Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it?

1. You can make one [when I first installed HID's years ago, these didn't exist, shortly after they were somethign like 30$/pair. Now you can get them dirt cheap.

2. With some creativity you can also make the stock one work by drilling out a hole and carefully run the wires that way, it will sit cockeyed, so you have to play with the bar and push it forward a bit.

3. Or do what this guy did on his bike and get some metal nut spacers;

Thank you! I was putting foam piping insulation behind it, but the heat was too much and melted the insulation.
