Default LED dome light install question

I have lost the links I originally had to the installs, searched but couldn't find it. I bought a 'festoon' style bulb that looks like the biggest in this picture

in my TA, the bulb had loops on the end that went over 2 copper things. Do I just bend the copper things onto the bulb? I would think the bulb would pop out after the first minor bump in the road. Can I just solder some loops of wire on it?

I have one of those in my dome light. It just pops into place. I didn't need to solder or bend anything.

He duplicated my installs and was nice enough to do a write-up.

the one I have in there now is pretty shitty light dispersement. I'm gonna try to find one that spreads the light out more...

just got the same bulbs and I had to bend the tabs alittle so it stayed in there better. so far it has not come out. the light brightness is not bad in the rear dome light and is pretty bright in the map lights.
