well i had this problem, i got my LEDs from www.Autolumination.com. i had to put my new Dremel to work and shave some of the plastic sleeve off of the bulb. heres an illustration that says it all, but ill explain all of it below: Ok well my bulbs came with a lil pastic sleeve over the actual bulb, so i had to shave some off ALL-AROUND (pic makes it seem only on 2 sides) so it was at the same lvl as the bulb, i also shaved some off of the actual part that plugs in, there the little metal wires are bent over. This way the bulb will plug right into the bulb sockets, just push it with some minimal force and ull feel it lock in. P.S. jusst so u know, what i didnt! 1. The bulbs come out straight up and out, no need to twist them! 2. To locate the bulbs wich will actually light the instrument panel and not the engine signs and so on, remove the sockets, and ull see the transparent plastic used to scatter the light. 3. I thought it was 9 bulbs for the instrument panel, but its actually 7, so i used the extra 2 on the cigarett lighter ring and key ring. 4. Be careful with the dremel/what ever else u use, so u dont damage the LED bulb or wires at the bottom. Happy Modding
