Default License Plate LED Help

I bought some LED's from superbright and the interior ones went in perfectly fine. But when I got to the license plate ones the bulbs dont seem to be fitting with the container, I think they may be too big... The ones I ordered were 921-x9. Are these the right ones and am I just missing something or do I need a different size? Anyone know any local shops that sell these? Radioshack etc... Because I would rather not pay for shipping again for just 2 bubls... Thanks!

So is the size I purchased correct just the bulbs are too big? Or do I need a completely different size? Thanks for the quick response!

no you still need the 194 but it seems like you ordered a bulb with 9 small LEDs in it, which are too bulky for over the license plate. see if you can find the wide angle LEDs and you'll be set

the ones you posted a picture of will probably be prone to condensation and will begin to flicker after a while

Is there anywhere to buy these in stores? Shipping on that site is 4$ as well. I would rather just pick them up locally haha.

I am running Garage 1217's aluminum ringed LEDs for my license plate lights. Shipping is I think is a flat $5 but they are good, and you can get LEDs for the rest of your car too.

I went through autolumination also for a bunch of my LED's and they make good products and ship fast/cheap but I had the flicker problem with 2 different style bulbs on the license plate. I just ditched the idea and went back to factory.

Yeah I got all my interior bulbs done and they fit perfectly and everything, I just dont want to waste money where it isn't needed haha so I am going to stick with stock until I need to order some more LED's for something.
