Allright I came up with a workable solution without cutting into my original harness.
In my mind the new Sylvania bulb would be the "at fault" issue.
Thus that is where my modifications would reside.
I already had newer Sylvania low beams and I wanted the high beams to match. I did not note this issue with the low beam bulbs.

Caveat: There are many talented folks on here who may come up with a much more eloquent solution.

That being said I noted there are holes in the bulb tangs. (similar to the holes I have seen in 110v male plug connectors) I then thought I might be able to use these male prongs from a replacement 110v male plug found at the local hardware store. I then cut the (bent) wire connecting ends off of the male prongs and enlarged the thru holes on both sets of prongs to 1/8". I then used a 1/8" pop rivet to join the tang and the newly fabricated tang extensions. The pictures are worth 1000 words of explanation.
