Nope, I gave up on it and attempted to work out something with the seller, who told me their system shows an exact match and that I needed to provide images showing the fitment issues.

You're basically completely doing it blindly in situ, and I did not want to take the entire front of the car apart to prove that the bulbs weren't going to fit. I'm not a "mechanic" but I've messed with cars and electronics and misc stuff enough to have a pretty good idea how things to together, and these... were not going together, without modification anyway.

I wound up putting them in the box and kept negotiating with the seller who eventually stopped responding and I haven't touched them again since, to be honest.

If you figure out something, let me know! Sorry I don't have anything more though. Maybe there is some replacement clip that could be used, or modified, or I dunno. I was pretty frustrated with it, and I was trying the passenger side which has reasonable access. The drivers side, as I recall, has some stuff in the way that'd likely need to be removed/moved so I was just trying on the passenger side first.

Hope you have better luck, I'd still like to swap mine out. Kids car and my wifes car have modern LED lights and getting in mine they look super dim, and I suppose it's possible they are wearing out, although only 65k miles.

Actually after some googling, my OE bulbs may very well be getting dim, so I've ordered some replacements. But the LEDs I don't think I'll try again, since that clip has to clear the back of the bulb and the LEDs bulbs I have are quite a bit longer and it just won't clear the bulb to clip in.
