Depends on the structure of the reflector.
Earlier car and M/C lamps were sealed beam and had the 3 connections as
you mention. If you can find one that fits you are in bussiness.
Later lamps take a bulb with the filaments offset as suggested and again
have 3 connections.
Describe your lamp size better and ask in rec.autos.tech or post a
picture somewhere.
