Default Bought the wrong light from superbrightleds.com

So I purchased ~$100 of LEDs the other day and they just got here. The dome lights were BOTH wrong (I used their vehicle bulb guide and didn't cross reference it with sylvania) Noob mistake, I know, but is there any way that I can still get this to work with some DIY methods?

Here's the one I got, it's missing the metal cap connector things and it's a tad too long. Aluminum Foil?? Haha...but seriously.

What i would do is contact superbright led and tell them you got the wrong one. They will be more than happy to replace it for the right one. Great customer service. Its a lot better than trying to rig something up. rigging=fire to me.
Just deal with the OEM dome a bit longer until you get the right one from super bright.

Just contact superbright and get a replacement, just tell them you got the wrong one, and they will send you the right one once they get the other.

This V is not what you want to do... not a reputable member. unless its free.

If it were me, I'd just rig it. Then again, my whole blazer was rigged. Just me though. It's more hassle for me to send them back, than to bend some wire.

I made it work by tightly wrapping aluminum foil around the ends of it. It cuts off about 1/4 of the end lights, but it works for now. I'm going to be ordering another one anyways because I got the "cool white" color and it's verrryyyy harsh on the eyes.

If my car burns down, i'll let you guys know
