For the LED light truck guys

Just put some replacement LED bulbs in my dome lights and while they work they are very loose fitting and move around pretty freely ( I can spin them easily while in the socket etc). They do not feel tight like that factory halogen bulbs. All of the bulbs I've seen online look like the same connections. Just wondering from the people who have done this if the aftermarket bulb bases seem looser when they are installed or not. Thanks. The lights do look nice though.

Here's some pics for comparison with just one light on

i swapped out for the recon LEDs. (i know cheaper/ better are out there, but these were available and met my needs). i bent the contacts in the bases to fit them tighter. The festune ones fit fairly snug, but the map lights i reached in with a pick and bent the prongs out slightly.

Yeah my rear festoon bulbs are loose...still waiting on the front map lights to come in. No big deal as they were cheap. I might just bend the contacts in the dome light to snug them up.

Thanks, still tryin to make my mind up if I like them or not. I like the brightness but there's just something about LEDs that makes it kinda weird on your eyes inside vs the softer glow of halogens.
