Yes, the bulb was in the correct orientation to the socket. wider tab at 12 o'clock, two smaller tabs about 5 and 7. I suppose I could use some tin snips and cut that little tab at 2 o'clock, off. I was just surprised and taken aback it not fitting out of the box. Wondering if I should put it on the 09. You're probably right though, cut the thing off and it should be fine.

I was too busy riding with the local HOG's yesterday (180 miles ) but this morning, I took my tin snips and cut that pesky little nub off the Qsram H-4 bulb. Actually, just barely started cutting and the thing popped off cleanly. Once removed the bulb fit perfectly.
I was in my garage and right away can tell my headlight is much brighter. Can't wait to try it at night.
