Thats what I'm doing. I can't figure it out for some reason. <a href="http://s232.photobucket.com/albums/ee267/Karkiss/?action=view&amp;current=401188_3216295688590_1302298699_334 67479_1378193442_n.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee267/Karkiss/401188_3216295688590_1302298699_33467479_1378193442_n.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

Ignore the placement of where the bulb is. I twisted it every which way to get it to sit properly and once it sat, the clip didn't...clip.

first off, its upside down.
second, it screws under that square tab, between the screw and that detent nearest the bulb.

you ahve it upside down, and screwed on the wrong side of the screw.

those hoops dont hook, they are finger tabs, and its there for tension, so be prepared for them to bend a bit before they go in.. if you figure it out from what ive read, your awesome. or hold tight, ill shoot a pic in a few hours and post it, and youll shake your head in disbelief haha and fix it quickly.

actually here you go.. paint is our friend..



the brass square is meant to hold down that part of it that you ahve hanging lose right over it. flip it around, make sure that part is where i drew the line, tighten the screw and the rest will all be too clear.

Like this I presume? I feel like the bulb is still a little shaky with it like that. Any harm in putting some tape in just for safety? Or is the clip upside down again?
