First off the Amber LED bulbs are garbage and they don't put out anywhere near the light of the stock bulbs. Secondly getting the bulb in there are making sure that the contacts were just right was a P.I.T.A. and I'm super careful when doing things.

Long story short I was so unhappy with the Amber LED bulbs that I ended up pulling them out after two days and put the original bulbs back in.
I put an amber LED in mine and couldn't be happier.
It's way brighter and reacts faster. And works with euro blinking.
You just got the wrong bulb. Had no fitment issues in my LCI

I also like the fact that the bulb is not visually Orange inside the housings when off
