Why won't the e36 with halos already installed work?

Re: My E36 headlight conversion
Thanks! I bought the US version just for that reason, the euro, projector, and HID lights are bigger and need more cutting. BUT they can be opened to insert the halo lights. The US ones are smaller but sealed so I had to cut the front lens off to glue the halos on and glued the lens back in place. I prefer that because they fit into the stock headlight bar and if I wanted to go back to stock headlights I can anytime.
The lights are just 9006 and 9005, but the visibility at night is WAY better than the stock, square, sealed lights. The blue is a little too bright at night I'm going to try to dim them to make it more subtle. But they look better than stock with the blue off too.
