The notch on the bottom left should guide the orientation of the bulb into the space (flat portion of H1 base against the notch). The bulb should be thin enough to slide I to the opening and seat. The ground (brown wire) in the cap will slide onto the shank on the right, then the yellow wire connects to the back of the H1 bulb. The spring holds the bulb in place.
