Hey guys

I ordered some led units from lush lighting before I decided I was getting rid of car and I happens that both bulbs are now no longer working so I went to fit the ones I purchased but for some reason the units are a loose fit.

It said on eBay they we're for my GTC so I'm confused why there's some play in the unit just wondered if anyone else had this problem and some suggestions to getting them in as tight as the original unit.

Got a pic below if people are not sure what Im talking about.

They are slightly smaller do they fall out or anything?

Nope

Think halfords would have some ?

I'm thinking that the j 5 door must be a perfect fit but the gtc must just be loose but they said they were for my car so confused.

Wish I just got the bulbs now but after last time getting errors didn't want to waste my money again
