if you look at the bulb, youll see a washer type rubber ring. I think we were able to make that shrink a bit and force the bulb in. I wouldn't worry about it

I'm gonna post pics of my Fogs and HIDS in a new thread

I don't know if you looked in the bulb housing. I saw a guide that would stop the bulb from being pushed in too far. The space between the housing and the guide did not look big enough to fit the tabs of the MTEC bulb. This is why it will not turn by hand. You're right, we just forced it in there. The plastic tabs were probably disfigured when we turned it to lock it in. IMO, they could have designed it better. I'm curious if the H11 bulb with the thinner tabs is what we were supposed to get. But hey, it's in there tight. No complaints.
