Quoted from BJM-Maxx:Brand new installed, they flickered, so I tweaked them with pliers to tighten them up. The problem is the tang underneath gives way no matter how carefully I insert the bulb.
I assume this means you squeezed the socket so it took effort to even push the bulb into the socket? It's not just the tang that's the problem with the sockets. Besides bending the tang up a little bit, I squeeze the top with needle nose pliers, doesn't take much. The connection is solid after that.
