Hey guys, this isn't just another black headlight thread. This is a serious issue that's been annoying me all afternoon.

I got these in the mail today:
Black Headlights on eBay

I pulled out the OEM lights and twisted out the bulbs (stock Sylvania). I go to insert the bulbs in the new black headlights & they won't "fit." The housing appears to be the same, but the bulbs won't twist in. Anyone else have these or a similar issue? Any help would be great!

 

ha well it does say on that listing that some models may require modification to fit. other than that idk

 

From what Ive seen they usually come with a set of bulbs that fit. You can file to opening a bit to get your bulbs in.

 

Sometimes when i switch bulbs i have to screw around with them for a bit until i get them in. They only go in one way so keep trying.

 

Does the blinker bulb fit? Maybe both holes are too small (LOL). Maybe it uses another type of headlight bulb? Email the seller before you start filing away.

 

I had this problem. The metal tabs on the bulb got moved and didn't line up with the plastic tabs on the base of the bulb. Look at the base of the bulb and make sure everything is lined up. Kinda hard to explain.

That was it. Fixed it. Thanks Matt.

 

yup, same thing happened to mine

 

No problem! I messed with mine for 25 minutes and got so frustrated. Glad you got it together!
