Default Switch Back Bulb Recommendation

Went to my local parts store and bought a pair of switchback bulbs. I had the hyperflash harness already and they looked great. (super bright) Problem is the bulbs are slightly too long to fit in our housing as it is designed. What bulbs are short enough to fit into the C5 housing? Looking for recommendations.

Syneticusa Error Free Dual Color...
Amazon Amazon



I bought these off amazon a week ago and installed them yesterday. Can’t speak for longevity but they fit good and are really bright.

This first picture is with one LED and one factory bulb. The second is with new clear housing with switchback installed. No comparison between these and the factory bulbs.

His are always best. Though I went with his switchbacks to one of his true amber LEDs. Looks sharp!
