Default Rear view mirror lights

Hey Guys,
Anyone know any tricks to have the rear view mirror lights stay in place?
I am not having much luck with the LED/s bulbs staying in place

You have to get the correct size bulb. The torpedo bulbs come in many different sizes; some are slightly off from others.

I did not think of that. That might be the issue, I will see if I can find a larger led bulb

what yr is your car? the RV mirror change in 01-02....and takes a 194 bulb....earlier takes the torpedo looking bulb

I just recently changed my 2000 car to LED....ended up having to remove the mirror to get everything lined up .....works great now with double the brightness

This is correct; 2000 and earlier is a different mirror than the '01+ cars.
