The low beam bulbs should fit without issue. Its the high beam bulb seats that will need to be modified. Just file or dremel out a larger hole. This was the case in my install at least.

I'm on call for work this weekend, so since I more or less can't leave my house, I think I'm gonna try and swap all my vacuum hoses in the 850R for iPd's silicone hoses. I hope I can put them all back together the right way....

Haha, Glad you guys got them. There are a few good shots in there huh...
Yeah, I've met him a few times at GTG's. He's a pretty cool guy. His car's pretty nice too, if you like S40's that is.
Quick shot of his car...

Are you talking about the HOVA one piece angel eye headlights? If so, and you're trying to install a H1 HID bulb in the low beam, you will need to dremel a little material out. I'm not sure about the high beams, cuz I stayed with the halogens. I used a carbide bit in my dremel dry, no grease or oil. When I was done, I turned the lights upside down and used compressed air to get the shavings out. Worked great, no problems. Adam (OREO) posted a pic that showed where you need remove a little material.

[adamjjohn203]

The following is pulled from Adam(oreo)'s thread

"All the places with red are going to need trimming.
The red mark on the lower left of the socket needs to be flush with the side. If you look at the original picture you will see how it kind of curves out to the right. Shave that down so it is flat. Just on the lower left half, no need to do it on the upper left half. Obviously I cant show depth with my "diagram" but you need to shave it all the way down (down as in towards the glass of the headlight lense).

The middle red line area, you will need to trim a little bit. Just make a small, lenth wise vertical valley looking thing. Doesnt have to be deep, just makes some extra room for the return wire (is it called that?) on the bulb.

For the two red marks on the right...As you can see, they have edges to them. They come to a point. They make a 90 degree angle. Get what I am saying? Shave those down a little bit so they are rounded off and not pointy. Make sure you do this the entire length of the socket, as I mentioned to do on the mark on the lower left hand side.

Let me know if you have any questions.'
