h11 housing seems warped. Any fix? 06 s60

Post by chris11211 »

I just had my mechanic splice out an h11 socket because the stock one burned out. Unfortunately, we discovered that the housing for the bulb has warped or is out of shape and the only way for the for the bulb to stay in place is to have one of the teeth barely hold on to the metal. Has anyone fixed this? Maybe the angle is not aligned ?

When I bought the part on eBay not there was nothing wrong. I'm guessing I need to swap out for another used one, right?

It's hard to see, but if you do an extreme close-up you'll see that it's being held by one tooth.
