You may have to rotate the headlight buckets ... maybe swap from side to side? Bulbs appear to be 45 degrees off.

Craig,

Good eye.....trust me I attempted.....with this particular bulb it only has one notch. I do not wish to ruin and customize the original headlight buckets to make it work....perhaps if I come across another set of headlight buckets I will make the correction.

Maybe get some repops and hack-away ??? That should work. Don't know how much you will drive at night, but the lights left like this will skew the beam pattern. Craig

Did you try swapping from left to right? Some of those buckets fit one side only.

Yep repop buckets will do the trick [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img]

I just cannot destroy a perfectly good original part.

Plus I failed to say that the single rear notch of this bulb is rather large.

Thanks Craig.
