Hi group,

I was performing some work on my R53's Xenon head light. I had to pull the Xenon ignition element.

Now, I'm have a hard time getting it back on? It came off easy, but now I can't just seem to get it to twist back on. Is there some sort of magic?

it's the item in the second picture:

and also, item number 7 here:

TIA,

found it. the "ignition module" has a lock ring inside it. you need to reset it, and then it'll install just fine.

found the fix in this thread. (posting for a future reference point).
