i agree Chip,
like you found the socket is too proud of the metal on mine as well so the bulb sits too high and out. i will look at it with an eye to mod as you did, or just replace the whole darn light with one built correctly (if those available are indeed built correctly......)
it might have got by if the running light was not the higher amp filiment, will review all things before buying or mod-ing anything.. holidays reduce options of getting back up to my rig/shop...
Otto, bulbs do fit fine on mine, and the bracket was properly seated in its mounting tab, just poorly executed (sloppy) design on these repops i'd say.....
