Thanks for the reply. I understand how the plastic bayonet fitting works, as well as how the bulb will only install one way, allowing to have a tail light separate for the brake/turn signal. I should have worded my question a bit differently. I was concerned over what I felt was the frailty of the wire ends and how they seemed insecure in the plastic housing/metal contacts. I have attached a photo of the ends. My second concern was the lack of flexibility of the rubber boot. Using lubricant, and much force, without securing the socket from the inside, the entire socket pushed through the housing. See attached photo. I thought that either the boot should be more pliable or the socket be more securely attached. If this is the way that these are meant to be, then OK. I was wondering if anyone else had these problem with this setup. Again, I should have been more clear.
