Lightbulb Dome light twist sockets?

.


I found these for my dome light twist sockets (https://www.ebay.com/itm/26205636624...3ABFBM2vONhtVg). Received them today (made sure the physical size was correct before ordering), BUT upon receiving them found only one SMALL difference that seems to not make a difference. The 'cam' locks are NOT 90 degrees offset off the terminals like the OEM's, they 'turn' a little further to the molded lock position. This makes the terminals (if fully locked) off the metal strip that is carrying the voltage. I have found IF you just twist them until the socket terminal 'bump' clicks between the metal strip and the plastic frame, they stay in place and work fine. Doing this, the 'cam' lock is about 1/2 way into its 'turn-to-lock' position. It is working for me, it is tight enough to not 'bump loose', and they were priced for 10 each with free shipping. Maybe something to consider for the membership? Good luck!
