you might check that the rubber seal on the old light bulb came out. when i changed my bulbs the seal came off and it took me forever to figure it out. i think on the original bulbs it was red.

Those retrofit kits dont work too good on the H2's and H3's, always problems with fit, patchy light comming out and heat with the housing melting. They are universal sothere is no way to get a perfect fit on any car.

Its always better to replace the complete headlight with a new HID headlight kit. The cost saved going the cheaper way may not be worth the headace and the not so good result.

This is very good advice, but some people like to go the cheaper route.
