HID Fog light problem...

I just bought an H3 HID kit for my fogs but I am having a problem trying to get the bulb in the assembly/housing. It's almost in but the glare guard is keeping it from fitting in all the way...Any ideas????

You have 2 choices: 1. Take out the shield. 2. Buy h3 mini bulbs.

You can also bend the shield a little so the bulb will fit.

I suggest taking it out. It wont blind anyone since its placed low and it will make the light on the road brighter. Theres a thread in here that explained how to take it out...i cant search. Its not that hard either way, bend and pull basically. Just be careful not to crack the glass.

Bend it slightly with a screw driver or something long that can bend it. I've had mine for over 2 years and they work quite well to this day.
