No sir, it won't. The socket is candelabra (small base) and the bulb is mogul (same base as HID lights). It would be like an Elephant trying to fuck a cat.

as is, this will not fit. but if you want to you could make a quick snip of some wire cutters (after buying the cord you want and purchasing the right size pig tail light socket assembly(mogul base for mogul lights) you could wire it up, wrap it in electrical tape and be happy camper

cfl's must have a ballast! yer bulb is a replacement for a ballasted fixture so kale's advice??why not gas and a match?? the one i posted will work cause its got a ballast and will fit in any normal socket but for efficiency's sake id use the 42w ones not the 65w
