9007 bulbs in Typ85 DOT headlights

[duandcc_forums at cox.net]

9007 bulbs produce a much better low beam than the older 9004 design, but still not as good as H4s in E-codes. So, until I get around to getting some H4 E-codes (not H1/H4, I want to maintain a stock look), I want to use the better 9007 bulbs. I know you can bend a little metal tab on our DOT headlights to allow you to use a 9007 bulb. But is there anything you can do to the 9007 bulb so that it will fit in our stock lights? I'd rather mod a $10 bulb than a $100 headlight...

TIA,
