70 headlamp fit problem

D
1114 2
I installed new GM headlamp buckets in my 70ss. All the headlamps will fit but three of them have to be rotated 90 degrees to get the tabs to sit int the buckets correctly. I checked the year one catalog to make sure I put them the buckets in the right locations. Besides, looking wierd the halogen headlamps don't shine properly rotated. The headlamps are ones that I just picked up at the local parts store ( sylvania - I think). Anyone else have this problem. I'm wondering if its the lamps that aren't right and I should buy y the GM's. I don't want to pay for the T3's. I guess another option would be to cut new notches in the buckets. Suggestions?

Had the same problem with a replacement bucket. Reordered twice with the same results. Wrong side bucket in the right box with right part number. Take one of the bad buckets out and hold it in front of the other side of the car and look at it there to see if it lines up on the other side, it worked for me. the guys at the chevelle catalog actually checked the new one on their car before they sent it. They said G M mismarked them.
