Hi All-

My car has had two slightly different tail lights since I have owned it- the left one has chrome trim (across the center) and the right one has black trim.

A friend gave me a right rear tail light assembly with chrome trim awhile back and I am just getting around to installing it. By "right" I mean the passenger side.

When I went to install it today I was surprised that the dual filament holder (running lights and brakes) does not properly fit into the chrome tail light assembly. The holder is numbered CP32-3. There are two tabs on the assembly that seem to interfere (one of them is broken, see attached photo). What makes this seem most odd to me is that the left assembly doesn't have these "extra" tabs...

So I am confused. Could it be that this particular right rear tail light assembly requires a different holder? The only number I can find on the assembly is embossed inside saying "Made in France 80 76 AA".

I don't know what car the assembly came from- it did have a different circuit boad- the circuit for the socket in question had only two conductors. But after swapping circuit boards everything works except this particular holder doesn't fit into the socket.

Anyone know what's going on here? When I look at IPDUSA I find only one type dual filment socket for this year model- http://www.ipdusa.com/products/8773/120017-volvo-right-side-bulb-holder-socket-for-21-5-watt-dual-filament-bulb-1157

Thanks,
Keith
