[Healeys] 1157 bulb issues

[I Erbs]

weirdness.. bought new 1157 bulbs to put in my new running light sockets.
An old bulb I have fits fine. The new ones won't lock into to socket. I've
loosens the nuts holding the sockets to the body, no joy. Tried all four
light sockets. Anyone encounter this? I have to have brake lights...hand
signals don't mean much to anyone under the age of 40...
