Problem with projector headlights for 97-03 model

I bought spyder halo headlights and just installed about a week. My HID's didn't arrive until today. So I noticed with the stock bulb it had a cutoff and weren't even bright at all. My HID kit 6000k H1 from vvme got here and I installed it to the housing. One of them went in only and the other broke on the process?? How did this happen? And the worst thing is that I noticed the same view and cutoff as I did with the stock H1 bulb, The only difference is that I can now see blue. The bulb that broke only ripped that white stick going down and up the bulb. I don't mind ordering new once but I have a feeling it wont fit either. What do you suggest?
And also my headlights are really loose that I can even see them bounce in the road ?
what should I do?
 


You need to play with the angles to get the bulbs in without breaking the white part of the bulb. That's what I did when I used to own these lights.
 
I did this too - same headlights, and broke the ceramic coating on the wire - didn't break the wire itself and it still worked, but I ordered a new pair of bulbs and scrapped the broken one. My advice is to order another pair of bulbs (I replaced both the broken one and good one, but I guess you wouldn't have to), and be very gentle and wiggle them just a tad to ease them in - obviously make sure you've got the wire in the notch of the projector base, and just take your time.
