When replacing the bulb, note that the circular flange has a flat on
one side. The flat must align with the lug on the matching face of
the bulb holder. Similarly, note the three tabs on the perimeter of
the bulb holder (one small and two large); correct alignment of the
tabs will ensure the holder is replaced the right way round.
