Anybody have a preference on LED bulbs? I've bought 1156/1157 styles in the past from eBay and Walmart and they seem to be OK. But my last batch I bought to replace 1895 bulbs, (bayonet/twist-in base for typical instrument clusters) weren't too good in quality. The LED section was loose and very easy to twist inside the base when installing them. The base was also just a bit smaller than the correct size causing them to sometimes fall out of the socket.

I've been searching for name-brands like Philips, Sylvania, GE, etc, but no luck so far. Anybody know of a good quality brand?
