Here are some tips: I used to have problems locking my Litronics back in. First of all- there are some instructions that tell you to guide the headlamp in its tracks and then leave a small gap (not pushing it all the way in) when then turning the headlamp tool to lock the headlamp in. Don't do this. Push the headlamp in all the way and then use the tool to lock the headlamp in. Second, sometimes either the headlamp locking tool is stripped a bit (from repeated use), or the headlamp clamping bow (the actual metal bar that the locking tool connects to when locking) is stripped a bit. You can actually buy new clamping bows (I replaced both of mine) to make locking easier. The clamping bows can be ordered by themselves, and are easily installed by just using a needle nosed plier to pull a metal washer off and then sliding the bow out.

Now, whenever I need to pull out my headlight and reinsert, it always locks on the first try. Good luck with it!
