Could someone that's attempted it post a pic of the two mountings side-by-side? I want to make sure I know what I'm up against before I start taking apart the wife's car
I don't have pics but I can say that if they don't fit and you have to bend the tabs, they are more than likely gonna break off. I had two bulbs that fit right in without having to touch them, but the two that didn't go in right away, the tabs broke off on me when I tried to move them to correct the problem.
Your best bet is to try and put them in and if the ones that don't fit you should swap out the bulbs with the original housings. It will take some soldering skills and some tedious work with tiny parts. Rick has offered to do the swap for us so if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself, I suggest you send them to him.
I got one light done last night and would have had the other done but I broke the resistor off of it so I need to go to Radio Hack and buy a new one and try again later today.
