12 volt LED light bulbs

I have tried to replace my 1076 bulbs to led. The ones I ordered didn't fit tight enough in the socket to stay on. I can move them around some and they will be won't always stay on. Has anyone changed these out and found good replacements.

Are you sure that it's not that your socket is too loose?

I don't recall which ones I got, but they were cheap things on eBay, and I didn't have any issues with the working...

The ones that I took out fit fine so not sure if it would be the socket. I have tried to sets.

I’ve had that same issue, I just added more solder to the contact points on the bulbs and they work and stay in the sockets.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I contacted Joe Brignola from cabinbright.com to ask about his bulbs. He told me to try removing the bulb and take a tool similar to a dentist pick and reach in the socket and bend the tabs down slightly. The old bulbs get very hot and cause the tabs to stay bent up tight against the top of the socket. That fixed my problem. It's nice to have experts like Joe. I will be buying any future led lights from him. Thanks to all the replies.
