i did bend it back and holds in place but for some reason, the cutoff doesnt look like the way it use too.. the cutoff is no longer a straight line on that side. bulb is seated properly and is in there securely. wondering if it is the bulb itself. replaced the oem's with marimotos. will replace with oems to see if i can get the same cutoff again.

could be a problem with the bulb, or maybe its rotated somehow? All the retaining clip does is hold it in position... that being said it should only fit in the hole a certain way

yea, brown rod is facing down... the bulb can only be inserted bby aligning the holes.

it may be an issue with the bulb... will need to swap to the oem once it stops raining...

this is the second marimoto bulb. the first one had problems igniting on the first try.
