Default Headlight bulbs

I just emptied my savings account on PIAA Extreme White Plus headlight bulbs, the high beams went in pretty easily, the low beams just won't fit, under any circumstances, I couldn't get these things to turn in the socket. This is in a 2007 Si... I am very agitated over the stupidest crap but there is NO reason those shouldn't fit

Anyone else have this problem?

LOL i had the same problem installing after market bulbs in mine and so have others its hard to get them in because they push out when you think there really in my advice is to remove the headlights so you have plenty of clearance then go from there.

Removing the headlights is easy there are only like 4 or 5 nuts to get it off good luck.

Grind down the plastic base of the bulb until it'll turn and lock in place. I had that problem on one of my headlights when installing new bulbs.

yeah, that passanger side is a pain to install. Its such a tight squeeze. It prob took me 20 mins to get it to lock in because i didnt have any room to lock the bulb in its socket. Hopefully I don't have to it again anytime soon.


But I'm gunna do what wild will said and just take the damn headlight out next time.
