Many LED bulbs will not fit in older tail/brake or marker lights.
( too wide past the socket , won`t go deep enough to engage the "pins" )
These work fine.

They are supposedly the same size as a standard 1156 and 1157. I have a Road King and they fit with room to spare,I couldn't say for sure if they fit in the Deuce style signals.

The issue is with the 1157-1156 style bulb doesn't taper high enough above the socket to seat in the housing.
I used a Dremel on the top of the hole to make it bigger to seat the bulb in.
