So, I was re-lamping my dashboard with LEDs and found the rear side markers are the same base, so I used a pair of those in the rear markers. Works great.
I tried to put them in the front marker lights, and the sockets are waaaay too loose for these bulbs. Clearly, a different bulb. None of the bulbs I took out are legible. Any online source shows the same bulbs (1895) front and rear. Has anyone else run into this? Or should I just tap a small hole in the side of the socket, and thread in a set screw to hold the bulbs in place? If I hold them off to one side so they make contact, they work fine...
