Review on ๐ŸŒธ Ruiandsion 2pcs 12V 3157 LED Bulb: Super Bright 540 Lumens Pink Backup Reverse Light Brake Lamp by Rex Bareham

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Doesn't fit well with the wiring harness. The light came on but didn't go out! Had to delete 2!

Does not fit my '08 Saturn Sky Redline. Revain reveals that this particular purple LED bulb is a direct replacement for my 3157k clear reverse bulb. It shows a slight difference in the thickness and size ratios at the installation location in the socket compared to the halogen lamp OE 3157k. I've had a lot of trouble trying to fit it into wiring harnesses. I have compared both of the original 3157k bulbs with this LED bulb body and found that they are very similar. But it wasn't easy. It seemed too wide from side to side when I tried to insert it. One side was inserted and the other side appeared to be stuck to the seat belt side frame. I used a metal file to remove some of the plastic tabs on each side. Took me about 30 minutes to do some very light sanding on both sides of the LED plastic side tabs, unfortunately they don't match the wiring harness. The light came on and I thought it would work. But I noticed that even the light was on. It didn't fit properly on the wiring harness hence the light WILL NOT go OFF! I took a closer look and noticed that the LED bulb does NOT fit straight into the wire harness. Look closely at the last photos. At this oblique angle, the light comes on, but it also stays on all the time, even when the car isn't reversing. I tried both lamps in the package. This is not good! . Go KC Chiefs!
