hid fog install question

[wtwoten]

my car is equipped with h3 bulbs and projectors. i ordered an hid kit from ddmtuning, but came across an issue when trying to install the bulbs into the projector. the regular halogen bulb that was in before was tough to remove as the clamp that holds the bulb in can only go so high due to the fact that there is another cable that runs across to the inside of the projector. this cable is rather firm and i do not really want to mess with it. due to this cable, i cannot fit the hid h3 bulb as the plastic surround is too thick. anyone have any input on this? i know many members have hids installed in their fogs. i will try to take a picture tomorrow morning to better explain this issue.

I installed an HID kit from Dave at www.angelibrite.com this past summer...also h3......you have to get rid of all the old wiring...gut it out....you will never use it again..or at least I will never utilize mine again now that I have gone to the h3 HID set up!! This pic reflects 4500k..I actually had Dave send me 8000k to match the headlights he sent me....remove all the old wiring in the projector..I pretty much cut it out and removed it.....I also carefully drilled holes about the size of a quarter in the caps that cover the back of the projector housing......slowly fed the h3 bulb through and then used the plugs on the wiring to secure into the quarter sized hole....screwed tha caps back on and all secure...I hope this helps..RR

sorry for the poor quality and for the picture being out of focus but its a camera phone. the only thing that is really an issue is the light pink wire that runs across the clip. rich, did you just cut this and get rid of it? i figure that if i can cut it, install the bulb, and reconnect it everything would probably be fine.
