Message: [QUOTE="backwoodsboy, post: 956014, member: 5415"] Finally got mine in. For those of you with 9007 style bulbs, you are going to have to modify the bulb retainer to clear the fan built into the end of the bulb. As you can see here, there is no way you are getting the retaining right onto these new bulbs without modifying it, as the fan interferes. [ATTACH=full]132434[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]132435[/ATTACH] It took me a while to figure this out, but the ring on the LED bulbs is actually removable by twisting it to the left. You might have to use the retaining ring flipped upside down to get a good enough grip on it to twist. [ATTACH=full]132436[/ATTACH] Now, you have to trim the stock retaining ring. I used a cutoff wheel on a dremel tool and removed all the the material behind the ridge that holds the bulb in. Here is what I was left with. [ATTACH=full]132437[/ATTACH] With the clip removed from the bulb, drop your new retaining ring in, and then re-install the clip. [ATTACH=full]132438[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]132439[/ATTACH] From here it's a matter of installing the bulbs as you would normally. Hopefully this helps someone else out as the bulbs do not come with any form of instructions and it took me close to an hour to realize that the piece on the LED bulb was removable. [/QUOTE]
