Hi all!

I am having trouble locating these bulbs. Anyone know what kind of lights these are? Also, dumb question, what is the best way to pack all of this wiring stuff back into the housing?

Last question: The drivers side plastic light bar lock is so stiff I can't push it down to release without fear it will break.

Thanks for your help!

Mike

you have a HID kit in case you didn't know. i wasn't even aware that HID bulbs could burn out.

You ordered the correct replacement bulbs. They are a H1 HID bulb with a standard AMP connector ... plug and play!
