I'm assembling my completely OEM taillight after painting and notice that there is no way go get the bulb into the socket with the clear upper lens installed. This is the early housing with the vertically-mounted socked assembly. The clear lens is also original, OEM. Also, there is no way to get the clear lens in with the bulb in place. This taillight originally took the G.E. 1154 bulb (H.D. No. 68165-47), the same bulbs as my knucklehead. I'm thinking that the Chinese bulbs that I bought from V-Twin are slightly longer than the original bulbs. This height isn't critical in the knuckle taillight housing, but interferes in the Sportster housing.
Has anyone experienced this problem and/or what bulbs are you using to allow installation?
