Clear LED JLEVI 3157 install problem...plz help

Hey Gang,

Need to tap into the brain power around here yet again.

I just brought the clear replacements to the egg yoke problem for the front and read turn signals. The claim was plug and play. Well I took out the left rear turn signal, removed the bulb and the square peg does not fit into the round hole....am I missing the obvious? The only thing that I can think of is that the rear signals are a differt type of bulb than the fronts. I asked for front and back but there must have been miscommunication. Please advise.....Thank you.

p.s....I am out in the garage removing the fronts and trying those as you read this.

Rear bulbs are most definately different. They obviously sent you the wrong ones for the rear. You can't put a square peg in a round hole

Actually a little tip for removing the lower screws on the headlight assembly....if avail use a magnetic extention wand...one with a powerful magnet at the end and just hold it near the socket as you unscrew the fastner and once out just remove both at the same time and you will save some aggravation.

So the rears are not the 3157. If your going to do this mod remember the front and back are different model numbers.
