Try a different bucket.
Take the other light out and compare the notches. I had 3 inners and one outer when I started.

I checked the ones I had and all 4 of them are exactly the same. The indents for the tabs on the bulbs and everything. So, I'm guessing someone screwed up my order.

The guy I bought it from switched it back and gave me a bunch of extra parts in the trunk. I think there was a set of headlight mounts. If I find them you can have them for the cost of shipping if you want. I don't have a use for them. I think they are originals.

That would be AWESOME! If you find them let me know and we can work the details out and I can sent you the payment however you prefer

Check and see if they have any letters on them. All the head lights should look the same in front and if I remember correctly the tabs on the high beam vs the low beams are not the same, so they will not fit in the wrong bucket.

The ones I have, have no stamping of any sort on them. After I did some reading last night, that was one of the few things I found, was something about the letters that were supposed to be on them and the order they go in.
