Re: MID bulbs
509t is the correct bulb
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway

Re: MID bulbs
There should be a gap to cater for the wings, place it in then twist they should stay there pal

Re: MID bulbs
The gap is for the metal contacts to go through to contact on the PCB at the back. These wings are plastic and on the total opposite side to the metal ones
