Its strange. It looks like it was modified to fit that way. Dunno if the dome socket is different than the bulb or just worn out or what. That bulb goes straight in, engages no problem and lights fine. The new bulb wouldn't fit without an unsafe amount of pressure to push into the socket. The power booster died and left the brake lights on long enough to kill the car at one point so I think that's what popped it. Also strange that the fuse wasn't really blown, just didn't work. Probably been driving around with it like that for a bit honestly.
