Just get a nail clipper and clip one of the little obtursions underneath the bulb...it'll work fine after that. Thats what i had to do. I believe all turn signal bulbs have to be altered to fit our cars.

Not trying to be a dick, but i actually found the bulbs that are an exact fit at discount auto. I couldn't believe they had them. I bought them b4 i knew about the little trick for the other bulbs grin

Be sure and shave off the prong that is CLOSEST to the actual bulb, if you don't there is a chance the bulb will fall out into the headlight assembly which is an extreme pain to get out. If you do a search about this topic you will find many posts thumbsup
