I installed my Morimoto HID kit this weekend, finally! As I was reconnecting my negative connection, though, I somehow bent the bolt that holds the clamp for the terminal closed. Contacted my dealer who ordered the bolt for a few bucks and said it would be in their shop the next day.

When I went in for the bolt, it was actually the wrong one that they had ordered. After showing them the one I needed, they said the bolt is only able to be purchased as part of the assembly.

Do NOT bend your bolt. It’s expensive

why not get a bolt from a hardware store?

I looked, and also checked an auto parts store. Couldn’t find one similar enough to clamp it.

That thing can be a pain to put back on. I went through this went test fitting my HIDs.

I dropped mine. Looked and looked but couldn't find it. Finally used a snake camera and located it. I did install a temporary one for a week or two before I found and replaced the original.

Wing nut fix is pretty neat. Would not have thought of that.
