depo tail help QUICK!

i need help. i got some depo tails and i figured out the wiring and fitment and all the normal problems BUT i have a new one. the socket hole on the bottom where the reverse light should go in doesnt match the oem one. does depo normally provide a socket that plugs into the oem harness? mine came in a plain unmarked box wrapped in plastic with peanuts, nothing else. wtf?

no its hard to explain, the holes in the taillight dont match up with the tabs on the socket. there is no way it could possibly fit. there is 4 tabs in the hole and 3 tabs on the socket.

You can get it to fit. It will secure in when you twist it crooked, but it will stay and wont fall out.
