Default Turn signal housing - what's the longest 3157 LED bulb that will fit?

I ordered some brighter LED bulbs for the DRL's and they don't fit. They're 64mm overall length. The stock halogen bulbs are 53mm overall, so I know anything that long or shorter will fit. Does anyone know the longest overall length of bulb that will fit?

No, sorry, I don't. However, I found
these these
on Amazon. Website says they're 2.21 inches, 56 mm, overall, which is not that much longer than the stock bulb, and lists brightness at 920 lumens, which is more than twice as bright as stock. And at $13 for 2, they're cheap enough to take a chance on. Will let you know if they fit and how they look once I get off my lazy butt and put them in.
