that is not where you install the H8 lights... that is for your cornering light which is completely different from your DRL (halos)...

To install the H8 bulbs, there is a round cover with a rubber seal on the back side of each headlamp. Unsrew the cover and you'll see the original bulb there, rotate about a quarter turn and it'll become loose. You then remove the wire connector and swap bulbs and reverse... This is also in the user's manual...


Attached is a screenshot from the manual...
