Default 06 HID bulbs installation

Hello guys,

I tried to swap out my 06 OEM HID bulbs with some 6000k HID ealier today, but I was stuck during the installation process. So I had to called it off before it got dark. My problem was, when I tried to turn the white cap, that covers behind the HID bulbs, counter clock wise and pull it really hard, it wouldnt let go no matter what. In fact, I had a really tight space to work on it becuase I was too lazy to jack up my car/remove wheels. I had my parking light/bumper side markers done this way so I thought I'd do it without any problems. Is there any trick to take the white cap off? Do I really need more room to get this job done? any suggestion?

Thanks,

Kev

Take a flat head and gently stick it in there wiggling it back and forth, its got a pretty tight little rubber seal and you wont hurt anything doing this.
