Im having a bit of a dilemma with my led lights. I bought these from ijdmtoys, one pair in each color, and i LOVE the color they output. I installed them in the license plate lights and the step/courtesy lights

iJDMTOY JDM Xenon White/Ultra Blue High Power T10 LED bulbs for parking city lights, side door lights, license plate lights, etc

Only problem is 3 of the four leds stopped working after a few hours of installing them and I dont think its because they went bad. It seems like theyre not getting a very good connection with the prongs inside the housing. I tried another set of leds that I've had from superbrightleds that I've been using for a long time and they fit nice and snug and work perfectly.

My question is how can I get the ijdmtoys ones to fit better in the housing??? Is there anything I can do to get them more snug or have a better connection?? I really like the color they produce a lot better than the superbrightled ones.

Thanks!

 

Didn't you part out your car?

 

I got a new g37

 

Ohh...sweet. Then these questions will be better answered in Myg37.com

 

I posted there too. But this doesnt really relate to just the g37 since Im talking about the 194 type bulbs. Basically anybody, even somebody with a lexus, can chime in and give me some advice.

 

you tried Vleds.com? And if you insist on using what you have. There is aluminum tape that you can buy, gives you some additional wedge and keep the contact still.

 

I dont want to keep spending money trying different ones...i did that with my other g lol. it gets really expensive when you keep ordering and trying. I have about 7-8 different sites that i can order from right now....but i really like the color output of these bulbs and am trying to see how i can make them work.

 

Another thing you can do is folding the contacts in some way depending on how the bulb was designed.
