Update: so the stock hid's are diff. when you take the plastic cap off, there is a plug that twists off. after that plug is removed there are 2 spring wires that must be unlatched for the bulb to come loose. The only way I figured this it was by sticking my phone into the hole with the flash on and recording so I could see what was there. The only issue I had minus removing the bulbs out was getting them oriented correctly once back in. I think they are correct, but will see one it gets dark.
