Westinghouse bulb, another hour to get back in socket, what is the direct replacement socket that will fit my new reflectors installed years ago, standard twist two pin, thanks Bruce

Bruce, those sockets also gave me a fit until i found a way to relax the spring tension on the three locking pins that hold those bulbs in the sockets. Somehow I came up with a way to push in on the three springs on the rear of the socket. This takes enough tension off the pins which allows the bulb to turn so they could be easily removed and a new bulb installed.
I also prefer using the new generation halogen bulbs that light up the road much better than any of the filament bulbs and draw less current than the early generation halogens.
