Well I finally received my exterior LEDs I ordered. Only problem is that none of them will fit into the holes! I got 36 LED bulbs for the reverse, rear and front turns and none of them will fit into the hole! This sucks, they are really nice and bright too. I guess I have to stay with a slimmer type bulb.:bang

So a heads up for anyone that is planning on getting some exterior LEDs, make sure you get slim enough ones to fit. Know I have to try to sell these things before I can get the right ones. In anyone knows anybody...lol

If it looks like this, it will not fit.

I'm surprised you didn't get ones that use smb LED's, those look like 3mm or even 5mm jumbo's :whoa

Looks like the front turn signal style you got there. You need 7440 style base LED bulb.

I had ordered 1157 for the front turns and 7440s for the reverse and rear turns. Are the fronts not 1157? I never did get around to even pulling these out because I couldn't get my hand in there.

My problem in the rear anyways the diameter of the light portion was too big.
