F##k...need my bulbs installed...Houston shops?
SHORT: Removed HID bulbs and can't get the factory HID bulbs back in..
LONG: So I did the E63 front end and decided to install the E63 depo headlights. The depo lights came with 8000k bulbs but I didn't want that fake/cheap/aftermarket look so I requested 6000k bulbs instead. Had the headlights installed when the bumper was getting done and when I got the car back the bulbs looked extremely blue. I hated it. I knew the seller messed up. So I removed the bulbs and sure enough the bulbs say 8000k. So I go to re-install the OEM bulbs and can't for the life of me get them in. I tried for 3 hours.
Any recommendations on a HOUSTON shop that can do this for me?
Thanks,

Thanks, I tried M-Power back in December when this happened, but wasn't able to get ahold of Ted. I had just met him btw at the M-Power meet.
I ended up going to SC Auto, they work on Porsches, MB, BMW, etc and service my dads 997, so I stopped by there. They did it for free and took him about 30 seconds a side. I felt like an idiot.
Great guys there btw, one of the techs owns a black E55/w211 too.
