ha ha i wish they just twisted out... there is a whole HID projector light housing, and the connector for the hid wont come out. The wire from the connecter to the bottom of the ballast is just long enough to connect so u cant pull to far... its a pain! So after taking off my entire front facia taking aout the head lights, i decied to just buy new ones from AAC... AND if anyone is going to DIY on your headlights with a HID... i say DONT!
