Default Headlight/HID Help

Right, I've just fitted some RS2K/XR h/lights in my orion, and tried to fit my HID bulbs in them but the securing ring on the bulb holder won't fit the HID bulb, its too small. Anyone know a way round this?

Are you sure you got the right ones?

You should have got

Bi-Xenon H4

Yes, they were the right ones to start with, bi xenon H4, but the new H/lights, same as RS2k/XR and Cosworth have 2 bulbs per H/light, 1 dipped, 1 main. The xenon will fit in the h/light, dipped beam side, no problem, but the retaining ring wont fit over the base of the bulb, so I can't twist it to lock it in. Would take some pics but can't be arsed to take lights out again.
