Has anybody tried using the Sylvania XtraVision bulbs (which come only with the right-angle connectors) in a 300M (which comes with in-line-connector bulbs)?
Daniel Stern has said that the in-line and right-angle bulbs are electrically and photometrically equivalent and should be interchangeable *if they actually fit*.
Anybody tried?

It'll be interesting to see the results here. The only issue is whether there's adequate space at the rear of the headlamp assembly to clear the
90-degree bulb base. From the mounting ring forward, the bulbs are identical.If no satisfactory answer is forthcoming, stop by any large-volume repair shop and ask them for a dead 9005 and a dead 9006 bulb the next time they change someone's bulbs, and experiment on your own.

According to the following links, the 90° bulbs will work on 2nd generation Intrepids, but *not* 300M's:
I don't know about the Concorde, but I will find out at some point in the not-too-distant future when I switch to the XtraVisions that Daniel has recommended in the past.
Hey - if you look at the first link, one of the comments is by DS!
