The terminals include inwardly directed locking tangs, the alignment of which prevents unintentional deformation prior to insertion of the terminal into the housing. Each terminal also includes a pair of contact beams angularly aligned toward one another. Portions of the contact beams are concave from side to side to contribute to alignment of the conductive leads of the bulb. The terminals also include tuning fork assist structures extending from an intermediate portion of the terminal forwardly for contact with the extreme forward mating end of each contact beam.
