Led Bulbs
I just got some 1157 led bulbs and went to install. i have had alot of problems making them twist and lock into the sockets. Have anyone else tried these bulbs and did you have any issues getting these into the sockets? I have broken two of them off at
 the base. Any suggestions or ideas?

Re: Led Bulbs
Are you talking about these? I ended up throwing them in the trash. I never could get them to work correctly.

Re: Led Bulbs
Not like those. smaller with alot more leds. They work fine once you finally get them in the socket. found them on ebay. They just dont want to twist into the socket. What you using on the big red now?

Re: Led Bulbs
I have had this problem on motorcycles. The problem is, you're bottoming out on the flared part before it's low enough to lock in (at least that's what I figured out after trial and error)!
