Help : Trying to replace headlight bulbs in 98 Civic
 

Quick question for anyone who could help. The passenger side bulb of my
headlight burnt out 1 yr ago and then driver side one burnt out
recently. I replaced both and they're working fine however, they don't
seem to be seated properly. Because they're not seated all the way in,
the light beam is directed far to high acting like hi-beams. There's a
piece of metal that I think is supposed to act like a retention spring
but I don't know how it's supposed to fit on the back rubber cover.
Took it to Firestone and they couldn't figure it out either, suggesting
that I take it to a Honda dealer. Anyone with any ideas?
