74/T5 LED mini wedge bulbs
The 74/T5 LED mini wedge bulbs I got from warden_jp2002 fit very loose in the socket. They will literally just fall out of the socket unless you secure them some other way. I figure most of these probably come from the same factories in China so I'm guessing they are all going to fit sorta loose, but has anyone bought any from other vendors like autolumination, v-leds, etc. that fit right?

I literally had to thicken the bulb with paper to make it fit.

OP, you have to modify the slot to make it fit.
I am not going to reiterate what i had to do to these twice in my ES300 to make it fit. And i bought 90% of the bulbs from Warden_jp2002, and i continue to swear by him...

At least someone else will benefit from my write-up, i can tell you now, on the ES it was a *****! Just an awkward position to get my hand in there to pull it out; just be patient with it!
