1965 Dodge Dart front blinkers and turn signal switch.

Hi,

I have come across something very peculiar on my car. I am not sure I even believe it myself.

I am trying to replace the light bulb for the front blinkers and parking light. Originally a 1034 lamp, now it is an 1157 bulb.

The problem is that I can stick it in, but not turn it. I have tried and tried, over and over again, until I got a better light and looked inside the socket. The grooves that goes inward seems to be fine, but the locking grooves are in the same position. I mean, for an 1034/1157 bulb one pin is at the end of the lamp, while the other pin is further up. But the locking grooves are at an equal distance in the socket.

I do not even believe my own eyes in this. It should be impossible.

Has anyone come across this issue before ?
