Got these for my footwells, but they are a little too wide. Are there any bulbs that are a direct pnp? Jackson modified his bulbs, but I dont want to trim the housing or solder wires. What did you guys get?

i just did this today myself. mine also didnt fit well, seems as though the 3 smd is a tad thicker than the 1 smd. @sakataj did you buy the 3 smd? i tried the 1 smd that i bought for my keyring light and it fit well. idk...i may just cut the connector and put a small board in there
im gonna reorder some of these

and if they dont work out to my liking i will go to a board also probably something like this

although i wish they had a PNP base like the others do for the 74

yep, those are the same ones, no good for the footwells. the 1 smd will fit, but the output will be **** poor at best. i agree, if he had a universal #74 base we would be made in the shade. I swapped out everything on the dash and interior lights to vleds. he does have a lot on back order, not sure how long the wait is. keep us posted on your progress.

so thanks to LexusK i have measurements on the 5 SMD ones and i measured the single SMD ones
the 5 SMD is 19.5 mm tall, 4.5mm wide, 2mm thick and the single SMD is 19mm tall, 4.76mm wide and 1.58mm thick maybe its the thickness of the 5 smd that is stopping it from fitting it in our 74 slot. i emailed Bill and will see what he says

Hey, thanks for the leg work... I think I may just cut the socket and put a small board in there. The one SMD just doesn't get it done, for me. I will just order the board, it's to much hassle to do a return. I will update the thread when I complete this. Right now I'm trying to research why my rear lights above the doors won't work.
