Is the size too small? I got the same size ones and they hold in fine.

I don't think so, they just slide in, they are the 36mm festoons, pinching the prongs seemed to help, I guess it's just the nature of the beast.

put some small blobs of solder on it, that'll stop it from turning. Otherwise, if you have it, some wire glue will do the trick.

Yeah, maybe your prongs are somehow more damaged and wider than mine when I changed them.

Also, with your dash/heater controls, your LEDs are different to the ones I bought. I bought the 'Ultimate' kit or something, it has four little LEDs. I can't find a photo

May have to try this, a blob up the top of the prongs.

You had to solder the bulbs in? I just bought the direct swap ones, unscrewed the old bulbs, screwed the new ones in.

They are a direct replacement ones. I bought them straight off the website, just the twist in ones. I didn't mod them, I'm too useless haha

But there are only two spots for LED's? Or so I thought?

Other two would go into the mfd aza.

Uh, yeah, doh!

I think I am going to have to get some diffuser for them both, as the MFD has halo rings.
