Headlight bulb clips and DDM HIDs

[MonctonP5]

Those freakin' headlight H7 holding clips are gonna drive me nuts!

Anybody have an idea on how to work in that little space to bend it properly so that I can secure the DDM H7 Holder with rubber shroud over it?

Either dislocate your fingers to turn in ways they shouldn't, or get some child labor going on and find a child with small hands to get up in there

Really though, make sure the bulb is seated and the notches and whatnot line up, and it shouldn't be too bad. I got mine in no problem, although after replacing bulbs left and right, you tend to get good at it.

This is why I pulled my bumper to mount my HIDs, it's easiest to pull the headlights out and do it carefully that way. I was afraid to mess up my HIDs.

At least you still have the clip. There are horror stories about losing them, bending them, and having them break off. My headlights are zip tied in (ghetto I know but cheap)

goodness. When I bought My p5, I was told one headlight would "Blink" at people on the road. I found out when I blacked out my headlights, the old owner of my car managed to get the clip inside the housing, and lost the screw to keep it in place.

mazda didnt think about us large handed people(gah)
