Hi Guys,

I was attempting to replace my oem HID D2S bulb last night and I can't "close" my ballast afterward.

You know that you have to "turn open" to take the ballast out and replace your bulb? I can't "turn close" and secure my ballast afterward.

I actually unplugged and took out my headlight for this job, so I think I have more than enough space to work with and have the correct placement for my new bulbs.

Anyone has experience this issue before? Is it okay if I drive without securing the ballast?

Any advice would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Had recently had the same issue. I had to take the ballast apart and reposition the plastic piece inside to properly seat the bulb, then it turned with ease.

 

Also try unplugging the wire from the ballast as well before trying to close it back. I think plugging the wire in actually moves the plastic piece that stops the ballast from allowing the bulb to seat flush.
