so i dont know if its been posted but i bought replacement 9006 and 9005 bulbs in a white with a blue tint and the 9006 went in no problem but the 9005 wouldnt fit for the life of me. did this happen to anyone else?

some of the bulbs are a very tight fit. it will go in but you have to work with it a little bit.

you i thought that so i did. and i even started shaving pieces of the bracket on the bulb and after bout an hour of trying i gave up. i looked real carefully at the stock ones and noticed that theres these bumps on the bulbs that are straight on the after market and angled on the stock so maybe that its. but do you know a good website to buy bulbs from. i've bought from places before and they always end up being cheap bulbs that burn out like nothing.
