HELP! Retrofit issues - TRS Retro-quick kit - I'm stuck. :(

Alright, I've been doing a lot of reading and looking at pictures today trying to figure out how to do this myself, but it appears I am overwhelmed. I cannot figure out how to put the new bulb in, while properly sealing the connection with the supplied hardware. I would appreciate someone's help that knows a thing or two about retrofitting HIDs.

not sure what you are referring too maybe post up some pics

only issue I had when putting my retrofit in was that the HID projectors are just a little bit smaller than the opening for them

Yes they are. The lens is the same size but somehow the kit itself is a little smaller and it looks kind of silly if you look up close. You cannot tell at all when looking from a few feet back tho (or of course, at night when lit up)

What problem are you having OP? hardest part for me was getting those stupid metal retainer clips in.

I solved this awhile ago. The bulb came with two extra leads and at the time I didn't have the rubber boot to seal the headlight, so i was a bit confused. Got it all sorted out.
