Yes, this is tricky. Two ways, buy the adapter, or dremel your old bulb holders to fit the wiring, like this [i did this]:


The seals?

Easy, re-use the seals/wire holders that came with your hid kit, cut them to size [round part] and place them inside the dust cover, so the cover sits like oem, and bulb fit like the oem halogens; exposing only the wires [two will be pulled out for the ballast portion.

**i used to have a jerry-rigged version that retained the oem holder, and 'bent' clips. This one needs much less modification, and the clips don't need to be bent at all. If anything a little bit towards the holder by 1/8" [if that]:

^^ i dont follow.

Just look at my pics, same simple way. You're overthinking it... i think. feed wires thru. tuck ballasts
