They're offset pins (AFAIK all the twin fillament 5/21w bulbs are). From what I remember, the standard bulb fits through the hole with only a mill or two clearance. If you measure a standard bulb and use that as the reference, you'll be fine.
The ride is the reason ........ the destination is just the excuse.

Just changed my bulbs 1 hour ago to LED. the pins are offset, and yes there is not much clearance but eventually its fitted.
