Default Re: Front Turn Signal Light Bulb Socket

I ordered the VALEO pa66-gf30 part through partsworld-uk via ebay. The part number is the same as my original part and it "appears" to be a very similar in the photo. I am unable to get it to fit. Some of the tabs are in the right place , but the plastic around one of the contact points is wider, additionally it appears that some of the cams that will allow it to lock into place are in the wrong location.

This was quite a disappointment. It is unbelievable to me that VALEO would have two different parts with the same part number. I plan on contacting VALEO to see how I would go about finding the original part for the Crossfire.

Currently my solution has been two strips of copper tape over the bad contact taped into place. It is holding for now, but I would prefer another solution.
