Bdberry Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 Quick question, just installed the 9006 led bulbs as my low beams, the passenger side slid in no problem. Driver side seems to not sit correctly. It's in there just enough to not fallout, but seems like it won't lock into place. Which makes bulb some what crooked.. anyone experienced this?

OhareFred Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 Try switching bulbs with the passenger side. Maybe the bulb has a piece of uncut flashing or something on it. If the problem moves you know what the issue is. No issues when I changed mine to HID bulbs. Both slid in no problem, although the drivers side is a bitch....

jkeaton Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 Sometimes quality control on aftermarket LED's is lacking....the supplied o rings can be different thicknesses, tabs not shaved correctly, etc. Or it could be the light socket itself.
