Is the bulb the same exact number as the one you are trying to replace? If so, is it a name brand or some off market brand? Take the bulb you are trying to replace into an auto parts store and check the size against other ones. Sometimes the bulbs (almost ALL auto parts) are made in several different countries and they are NOT always to specs in size and dimensions. On more than one occasion, I have purchased 2 parts for the same car, from the same manufacturer that were made in different countries and they were 2 different sizes.
