With that holder you can push up on the wires and the contacts will slide out of the rubber bit.
That will allow you to straighten the contacts up.


excellent advice, thankyou now my bulb holder fixed :D maybe it be easier to push the wires out, lock the ruber in the mount and then pull the wires back through?

You may also find it will be a good idea to cut one pair of opposing lugs off the bulb holders as the holes under the dash only have two lug spaces.
Leaving all four lugs on means the holders don't sit straight.
I found this problem with mine and removing the lugs does help.
