Not sure why you would do that since it's so easy to cut it to the correct shape. I think you will have problems with the bulbs popping out of the sockets on rough roads. Just my take.
It's a very tight fit in the socket after trimming the tab. With the other two tabs "engaged", there is no way it will pop out, I doubt it will even move. I was going to try to shape it like the original bulb's tab, but the plastic is kind of brittle and just broke almost comletely off, so I just smoothed it out.
