Hiya folks..
Just to throw in my 5p worth, I would almost bet on the pin
configuration being different on the new bulbs. The rest of the world
apparently uses a different pattern for these wires than the US sealed beam
standard specifies. Having put "euro" lights in a couple of my VWs over the
years, I had to relocate the pins in the plug to accomodate the new bulbs.
