    So I have a 19 pro, bought these bulbs to put in my front turn signals and they don’t stay in tight? I used electrical tape to hold them in. Am I missing something?

    Mine is the same way. I saw someone modded the harness to run the higher wattage filament in our OEM bulb and I think I'm going to yank these and go that route.

    Mine fit tight no problem. But I would switch the bulb socket to use the brighter filament in the OEM bulb if you have the LED Headlights only. I installed the JDM Astars before knowing that the wiring was wrong on the 18-20 LED headlight Tundras. I'd prefer to just use the OEM bulbs and will likely switch back. The JDM Astars do work great though. The LEDs I used are different than the ones you list so maybe that's the problem with the fit. These are the ones I used in my 2020.

    I checked mine when I redid the wiring to the bulb socket and both were tight as could be after several months of use.

    Those are the ones I have. They're not very tight at all.

    Not sure then what the JDMAStar fit issue is? I’d switch the socket wiring to use the “brighter element” for the OEM bulb. There’s a thread that describes this in great detail.
