Default HID bulb issue in HELLA projectors



Adding Hella projectors as my fog light to my 99 Camaro but having this issue. Bulb holder doesn’t fit over the H3 bulb. I’ve done this mod before years ago on another Camaro and don’t remember having this issue. Anyone else who’s done it come across this issue?

Can you post a pic of that clip separately? That doesn't look like a typical H3 holder/clip.

Thanks. That definitely looks different and more enclosed/covered.

Typically its bent spring-steel wire like this:
