I used a Dremel on the top of the hole to make it bigger to seat the bulb in.
Yeah, I ran into a similar problem with a different LED light.

Thankfully I did not have any issues. Removed 1157 and 1156 incandescent bulbs,replace with LEDs.

Update on the Superbright LEDs. Although the turn signals themselves flash normally, the indicators on the dash panel hyperflash,so something is not compatible. I've tried the learn procedure 3 times with no luck. Thought I had a cheaper way out.

Update on my previous post. I returned the 1157 and 1156 LED bulbs to Superbrightleds and ordered their Canbus 1157 and 1156 LED bulbs. They arrived today, I installed them, did the learn procedure and success,no hyperflash. All four LED bulbs cost me roughly $80. That's quite a bit cheaper than LED turn signals from either Eaglelights or Custom Dynamics, and they are extremely bright. So far,a win. here is a link to the ones I bought.

What is the learn procedure? Just did this yesterday, and they flash 3 times slow, and then flash fast. I have a feeling that may burn out a relay. Thanks.

Here is the learn procedure I used. I did leave the 4ways flashing for about 5 minutes, Custom Dynamics instructions say 2 minutes. What LED signals did you install?
