Hey everybody, its his car, not yours. He asked for help, not all the bull. Get over it.

Unfortunately I haven't seen those tails in person so I can't help, but maybe check the alignment to make sure they're going in straight? Since its not a "quality" part necessarily you might have to tweak it a bit to get them to fit. Good luck.

Actually there are few people int his thread that shouldn't be talking trash at all...

This thread is about bulbs not about crappy ebay tails.

I remember when you could post something on here and the people who liked it would reply and the people who didn't would either ignore it or at lease be considerate when they replied.

Sounds like you're trying to put a 1156 bulb in a 1157 hole or vice versa. Check the posts on the base of the bulb. If they're even on each side it's a 1156. The ebay tails use this bulb size for reverse lights and blinkers. The brake/running light is a 1157 and there is a little 194 running light off to the side. If you don't like the way the amber bulb looks in the clear turn signal lense, there are places that sell an amber bulb with chrome over it so it looks chrome unless it lights up.

i think an 1156 is a single filament, and an 1157 is a dual. but if thats the case then it might be an issue too.

1157 has the offset pins too which is probably the issue you're running into.

No comment on the "Chrome with a touch of awesome" stuff.
