try backing the light bulbs in..hold the base of the bulb like a cigarette, with the light bulb facing you, maneuver the light bulb in rear first, then when you get the whole light bulb in the light housing, just push the bulb forward into the whole.
this is the first time I've read of someone having trouble getting the bulb in, you should see how tight the fit is in the e9x models
