Trunk light problem!!

sh3kki · 01-27-2012, 09:49 PM

Hello everyone!
So here's the deal. I ordered LED bulbs from YOURLEDSHOP.COM here on this forum and I swapped the dome lights which work PERFECTLY fine, but there is on slight problem. I switched out the trunk bulb and the LED bulb seams to be too big in size or something not really sure what's wrong, but the trunk light won't stay lit unless I hold it down at certain angle with a specific amount of pressure. I tried to be ghetto and tap the darn thing at its place and got it to work until I closed the trunk and opened it again only to find out that it shut off again! Arghhh! So frustrating! Does anyone know what is causing this problem? Am I doing something wrong here? did they send me the wrong bulb? Help me out here guys~ Thanks in advance to all that give input~

Defiantly sounds as a connection problem. Probably a design flaw somewhere in the new light. They should send you another IMO.

90% of the LED bulbs sold on the internet are made in Taiwan or China and are of somewhat cheap quality... it is just a matter of finding one that fits correctly... you may have to sift through a few bad designs but most are ok.
