The truth is I've never changed an OEM XJ headlight. There, I said it. I have IPFs on my XJ but a co-worker needed help today changing a headlight on her stock XJ. I got the old lamp out... there was some corrosion on the brass tabs but not too bad.
I went to swap in the new light and it seemed that the tabs on the bulb did not sink very far into the socket before bottoming out (there are some little prongs on the lamp's tabs that bottom the tab out against the stocket). The lamp works fine but it seems like there is an awful lot of brass tab exposed between the socket and the lamp... perhaps 1/2"-3/4".
Normal? :confused1
