TR2/3/3A LEDs from Moss

I have a question regarding compatibility with the domed flasher units on my 1960 TR3A:
LEDs from Moss:
#170-930. (1157-w3w). For front clear marker/flasher.
#170-955. (1156-R3W). For rear turn signal flasher.

these LEDs appear to be to tall for the domes on my car.
They connect with the top of the dome, restricting it from sliding into the rubber mount.

The domes appear to be correct.

anyone else have this problem?

Thanks for reading.

They may have just crossed from the bulb number (1157, 1156) Without considering the physical length. These bulbs are quite widely available from various sources and I think you can find some with the correct length, although I haven't tried.

Try Litezupp. They make custom LED conversions specifically for LBCs, including positive ground.
 
Thx Randall,
Litezupp does have "short" 1156 & 1157 .
ordered some dash lamps also.

Thx Tom,

In fact I did find another outlet called LEDlight.com, that has a fairly wide variety of 56 & 57 hubs.

Relatively inexpensive also.
(hope moss will take theirs back )
 
If you still have positive ground, make sure they are compatible. Tom
 
Also don't forget you'll need a different flasher, if you change the turn signals to LED.
 
Usually the same folks who sell the LEDs will sell either the special LED flashers, or the extra resistors to make the stock flasher work (an option I forgot to mention before).
Eg, https://litezupp.com/epages/ac0e8ca...ab-e6c1-4d6b-ab90-9213bdc3f061/Categories/LFM

There may be a flasher available at FLAPS, but I don't know which one is appropriate offhand. (I do plan to look into this soon, though, as I want to lose the resistors.)
