How to install JBSpeeds LED license plate fixtures?

Anyone done this or know how to do this? I've followed the instructions on the website provided but I swear the ones he sent me are not the correct fixtures. They aren't shaped the same and frankly do not fit into the hole where the oem fixture used to be. I'll attach a pic so if anyone could confirm that I do/don't have the right bulbs I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

I have never installed those only festoon ones. I imagine they go into the socket as a whole

If it doesn't fit snap a pic and send it to him and say here is your proof and give me my money back

good luck

Ya I just ordered a set. Too bad they didn't make a whole fixture for the w203 as they did for the E-class...

I searched on e-bay... there are so many available for less than $10 for a pair of 36mm LED c5w lights. Any one tried those? Computer will throw error message if we use those bulbs?
