    I think i figured out the wiring thanks to google. Not too difficult once I understood what's going on. But, How do I get the dust cover back on the rear of the housing after putting the HID bulbs in?

    Stock with the dust cover on.

    HID's in. Can't slide dust cover over wires. Am I missing something?

    What I did when I put my HID's in was start from the opposite end of the wires and turn the rubber inside out (not the bulb side) and slide everything through the rubber. It will take a little bit of elbow grease to get everything through. When you get to the bulb, just turn the rubber back out.
