Default Help Installing RAZO bulbs

Im replacing the low beam headlight bulbs on my car with RAZO bulbs. The problem is when i try to place the bulb in the housing and screw it in to tighten it, it doesnt go in. I tried doing this with the OEM bulb and it screws in easily. Any ideas what the problem could be???

Please help, thanks.

Are you sure it's the right sized bulb?

ye the bulb is 9006. the bulb itself fits fine. its the round plastic thing at the bottom of the bulb that u have to screw into the housing in order to keep it in place, it doesnt seem to fit. I have no idea why because it looks exactly like the OEM one.

so you mean you can push the bulb in already (meaning the 3 ***** are aligned correctly) but it doesn't turn? push in harder and turn. the rubber ring is for water proof

Rominl,

The 3 pieces are not aligning for some reason, thats the problem. I tried different ways to get them to align and then push it in and turn it, so far no luck. When i put the stock bulb back on in it aligned perfectly and went in no problem. I will try again tomorrow.
