If you click on the link the APF bulb which has the flange might be correct .Email them and ask.

None of the led bulbs made now will focus properly with original reflector/lense

My 36 w/repop reflectors, w/led HL bulbs, and led turn signal bulbs. I never planned to drive my car at night but these were just in case I got caught out late, so I cant say how the beam is on these but they are low current draw and very bright in my shop, fwiw, YMMV

Correct
Although they appear to throw out lots of light it is unfocused light and doesn't fall where it should. This is not anecdotal -unlike most of what is written about LED bulbs here and elsewhere . I have checked various LED bulbs in my original 1934 headlights with a correctly calibrated headlight machine (used to check headlights for a legally required 6 monthly vehicle safety check in my country) which confirms that they don't focus correctly.
