3Bspec foglight install question

So I'm looking at this install and the H3 bulb is too long, therefore it doesn't sit in the housing fully. Also, the way that the harness is, it doesn't allow for the clip to be secured since is is 20 degress offset? Any one else install these in the fog lights and be successful

I've heard that you have to push the reflector outward a bit to make the bulb fit. No clue on the harnass part.

Yea, you might have to push the reflector outward a little, and as far as for the connections, it should be 2 female and 2 male connectors.

Just ask for the H3c bulbs and return the H3 bulbs. They are excellent to deal with.

Yeah That's weird I just set up their phone service the other day, 3B Spec and his HID kits are super inexpensive or maybe cheap...I asked the guy 3 times where his product came from? Perhaps M.I.C. he still wouldn't answer the nationality question, he kept giving me the company name! I can't believe that kits are all the way down to $80 that's un believeable...

Even if you push the reflector in for the bulb to fit flush in the housing, how did you wire it up. the only way I see this happening is to cut the back of the cover for the new seal to fit. Anyone have pictures?

Yeah I kinda half azz that part because I just wanted them done so I did not even cut the cover I just stuck the little rubber plug in the housing that came with the Hids and pray that will keep out any moisture or water
