You have to shave off one of the prongs. After that, it's plug and play. :0)

use a plier and pinch one of the prongs and gently (but with enough force) pull/twist the prong until it comes off...

afterwards, use a file & shave it flat if there are any raised edges left... anything left sticking out can crack the harness when you twist lock it in place....

based on your reaction of the M17, I think you bought the newer version of the M17... the newer version is the one where the bulb is dyed blue... where as the older version, the bulb is actually PAINTED blue...

the old version therfore is less yellow, but at the same time, it is also dimmer... always a compromise...

Its funny that you mention about the LEDs... back when we exchanged emails about that subject matter, I had my friend order me a few LED bulbs from them (he has a business account with them)... and they just came in...

send me an email....
