Default HID Fog light owners pay attention!!!

I bought a HID kit 9006 for my fog lights but the problem I am having is that the bulb seems to be a bit longer than the standard 9006 so the bulb wont screw in. Has anyone else had a similar problem? If so how did you get around this? If you dont have this problem please let me know where I can get bulbs similar to the ones you are using!

I've had several customers pick up HID fogs for their second gen ISs and none of them have had a problem.

If you just want bulbs - $60 shipped!

Thanks!

Make sure to install the bulb flush an not on an angle. It should turn to loosen and turn to tighten. Due to the plastic wheel well housing, it may be tricky to get a good view.

did you take off the bumper when you tried to install the bulbs? when i first tried to change my fog bulbs to just 2500k bulbs it wouldnt go in. and i swear those were shorter than my 3k HID bulbs but since i took off the front bumper to put in the HID's it went right in
