Exclamation 5LED SMD 194/168 don't fit in city light

Decided to change my city lights white but it doesn't fit even though it was 194/168 SMD. Got them on eBay for a couple bucks but they don't pop right in like my other ones. The bottom wedge part is too wide to fit inside. Did I get the wrong type?

Are you sure? It really doesn't fit. It goes in half way and not directly inside. Maybe I'll get a pic of it later.

Mine doesn't sit all the way inside the socket too. I put some electrical tape around it to make sure it won't fall out with all the vibrations. Doing well so far

That's what I did. Decided to just wrap some electrical tape in case it falls out inside my headlight.

Thanks guys.
