Main headlight bulb went out so I bought a 9006 Sylvania replacement. I can get the original bulb screwed in properly within 10 seconds, but despite struggling with it for an hour I cannot get the replacement (also a 9006 Sylvania but 10 years newer) in properly. It seats but it feels like it's not flush and the bulb is angled a bit and doesn't look like it's in as far as it should be even though it isn't shaking or anything. I've about killed my thumb messing with this thing but it just doesn't seem to want to seat so that it's 'straight on.' Anyone else experienced this? Guess I'll have to take it to a dealer.
EDIT: Just noticed that the old bulb was a 9006 HB4 U and there is a recess around the plastic piece that goes around the bulb, whereas the new bulb is solid and doesn't have the recess. Wondering if that's why it won't screw in properly.
