The Guide "pancake" style sealed beam on 1953-1958 IH tractors is NOT the same as what you get at NAPA.
What you get at NAPA is a "Wagner 4511" style standard sealed beam.
Size and overall shape are CLOSE, but not quite.

For $35-$40 per light, it may be worth it to you to figure out how to make the 4511 bulb work.
