2000 Acura EL Headlight Bulbs

I will start by saying the description does say it requires more room behind the headlight. I assumed that meant behind the headlight not in the headlight assembly. For my 2000 Honda Civic EX they cannot be installed properly. If I leave the factory seal in place the headlights will not seat properly and I believe will likely work their way out. If I remove the factory seal, that allows for water intrusion into the light assembly and believe the water will most likely the lights. To install the lights in my 2000 Honda Civic EX the bumper cover has to be removed to remove the headlight assembly. I could get the passenger side in without removing it but could not get the drivers side in past the steering reservoir and hoses. Service from CARiD could not have been better. I ordered the parts received them promptly.
