I need help trying to get some HIDs in the car, there is a stupid plastic clip stopping them from going in anyone seen anything that will work people say they have them in but not shown any pics.

Thanks

Do you have any pics of the clip that's stopping them? I fitted my HID's in without much of a problem. but a wee photo could help jog my memory from that

 

[SAFCliam]

See attached mate, stupid black clip

 

[Mathia34]

Ah so you just need to wiggle the full thing out, press in the wee clip under where it says "CEMM" and just wiggle it about while your pulling it back. It's a bit of nuisance getting into but it's not as bad as the bloody corsa C's. had to take the full front bumper off to put in the sidelights haha

 

[SAFCliam]

Then how do they stay in? Do they need the clip? Or are they push and twist like the D? Thanks

 

[SAFCliam]

Still can't get them in

 

[Mathia34]

Just opened up my lights there and got a few pic's for you it's genuinely just a case of unclipping the bottom pulling it out then snapping it back in again. Hope this helps

Mathia i dont think that is a hid bulb.

 

[Mathia34]

oops I forgot I haven't fitted them on my full beam's just my headlights, only used that cause it was easier to take a picture. Also I never put in a full conversion kit just something like this for example:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Opel-Corsa-D-Hatch-H7-501-55w-ICE-Blue-Xenon-HID-Dip-Side-Light-Beam-Bulbs-Set-/331119899022?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&fits=Model%3ACorsa%7CPlat_Gen%3AD&hash=item4d1848b18e

so I don't know if I've just bought HID effect bulbs and just assumed that was it

 

[joeboy]

Yeah that's just hid effect. Hid lights have ballasts etc.

 

[Mathia34]

oh god sorry bout that here I was thinking I knew what I was doing

 

[SAFCliam]

Aww, i have a full HID conversion kit, they dont go in past the clip i was hoping someone found a way around it.

 

[Mathia34]

why not check how someone's done it on the Corsa D. I could garuntee you it's the same way

Any news on this? Would be interesting to see if anyone has managed to fit actual HIDs (with ballasts). This is something I'll be looking into doing in the future.

I know im 6 years late haha, but Im just about to attempt this. Looks like I will need to use a 25mm drill bit to make a hole in the rear light unit cap, but should be pretty straight forward with the kit otherwise. Will reply with a picture when done
