This can be done with ALL of our bulbs (on some models you remove the set screw first, on others like the H7 and D2/D4 you just PULL it off)





You're bulbs look like they have more room for the retainer rings so they may work. the ones I've tried so far didn't have enough room even after doing it the way you mentioned.

Honest, I'm not seeing it. Where is all the scattered light?

Looks like it'll work. When will you have them?

I'm hoping our re-supply shipment goes out this weekend so mid-next week we should expect it to arrive. They are available for purchase now on our site but won't ship till Friday

I just pulled this from the description of the bulbs from your website. It's the exact problem I've had so far. You think this won't be a problem?

"NOTE: If your vehicle's existing headlight bulbs are held in place by a retainer ring the XHP Series LED bulbs may not fit due to the width of the fan. Please check your headlight's existing retainer ring to ensure there is ample clearance."

Well that's the problem you are having. However with our lights you can remove the bulb base like I showed you. It MAY or MAY NOT fix your issue. Can't tell till you try it out OR if you are not using the lights yet, send them my way I'll test fit them before you have to buy anything
