Default Headlight Bulb fastening to the housing.

I bought black housing headlights and when putting the bulbs in the new one, I couldnt fasten that GODAMN bulb in with the little wire thing and screw. So i ****** tossed the bitch in the housing and taped in there... its loose and fucked up and I really dont care tonite... but I will tomorrow. HOW do i get that litttttle screw in there with that big rubber piece of **** in there. Do i take apart the bulb from that thing? Which I tried but didnt know WHAT to do.

Anyways any help would be sweet!

Take pictures. I hope, for your sake, that you don't mean the huge rubber dust shield.

You don't if you want your headlights to continue to stay free of dirt/dust/condenstation.

I don't use the clips, the rubber boot holds the headlights in fine. Just make sure they're adjusted correctly to begin with and they won't move around.

ahh true... cause Ricey McRicerton, I smashed and scrubbed my fingers raw trying to figure out how to get those damn things to fasten... then I finally snugged in those rubber things, put a nice slab of tape behind the rubber thing, and called it a day.

Both of mine broke after removing headlight bulbs twice. The actual tab that holds the pivot point on the clip. I would have kept running them, but they always came out and would take me an hour to get back in, and then they finally broke. Oh well, I do just find without them.
