im trying to open my headlights so i can install hid lights myself but for some reason i think there is an extra cap on the back of the headlights .

its like a Minus SIGN - that sticks out , do it twist it ? or what do it do

can someone plz help me

The large circle area with the 4 cross pattern tabs, you turn that counter clockwise. the bulb is in there.

I tried turning it , but it wont turn :(

unless im not doing it hard enough because im scared i might break em

If it's the large one, it takes a little force... I bought some RS headlights to put on mine and opened it... just grab them at the base of the fin things and push and turn at the same time. Should be a little rough because you're turning against the o-ring.

I found a video for you, should help...
