one thing, make sure the bulb is in all the way. if only 2 of the wedges are in the socket then you will get a angled bulb. that will affect the lighting. try it out let me know. i even found a spider in my dads corola. that thing lived there for a while. even made webs. Took a air-in-a-can to clean it off. spider is roasted but the webs are gone.
