Default Anyone else having this problem????

Just picked up a pair of Sylvania SilverStar bulbs to switch out with the OEM bulbs. The bulb itself came out no prob, but the new ones are just not going back in. The bulb is supposed to screw in clockwise and then you snap in connector....am I right???

I've changed a bulb or two in my time and NEVER had this much trouble with a bulb fitting. And before anyone asks,the bulb IS the right size....

What am I missing here????

When I changed mine out I had sort of the same problem as well. I was a long time ago, but if I remember correctly, I just swapped the bulbs from one side to the other. It actually seemed to work. It seems elementary, but it helped me.

You know it is the right size because of how?

The bayonets are keyed and only
go in clocked in one of three positions.
The other two positions are a no go.

A simple mod gone wrong.
Lol dB, quick to shoot someone down.

Yep, the H13 SilverStars I bought installed EASIER
than the removal of the OEM bulbs.
Maybe return them for H13 SilverStars?
