Bulb Placement in headlight fixture

Does anyone know how the bulb is suppose to go into the headlight fixture? There is the bulb and that little round thing attached to the bulb. I have that little round thing facing up(away from the ballast) is that correct?


Thanks for the help!

The little round thing I was talking about is on the Bulb. According to that 02-03 picture it is #6. And it looks like it is facing down. mine is facing up, it looks like I put it on upside down.

Can anyone confirm if it goes in with that little round thing on the bulb down?(like the picture #6)

It should only go in one way. There are notches around the base of the bulb.

the external wire in a shroud= goes DOWN

make sure 1 armed bulb retainer clip is down and locked or bulb is not sitting in place correctly!
usual caution of no touching the bulbs bare handed
