dive rite 24w canister

So, I just got this nifty new 24w dive rite hid light with the wreck canister(scubatoys rocks ) the other day. Awesome light - amazing the difference it makes when compared to a 10w.

That being said... now on to a demonstration of my stupidity.

In my excitement to get it out of the box and check it out, I forgot to look at how it was oriented in the storm case - specifically the light head/cord/ballast. The canister itself is pretty self explanatory. Anyway, I can get everything to fit back into it, and maybe it's my imagination, but the lid to the storm case seems to be tighter to push down and latch than when I first opened it. I just can't seem to orient it so that I'm happy with the configuration to where I'm sure the bulb won't have a chance of cracking from the pressure of closing the lid. Round peg, square hole and all that jazz.

I was just wondering if anybody could snap a pic that shows how they have theirs oriented in the box before closing the lid so I can get a good idea about how it should look.

Thanks
