Reverse Light Bulb Help Please!

Further to the reverse bulb thread http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=339211, I purchased these bulbs from ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/350458872082?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649. They arrived next day and I actually had ime to take my lights apart and fit them this afternoon. Well, I took my light out, fitted the bulb and when I went to put it all back together, the bulb doesn't fit through the hole red plastic casing inside. I was so looking forward to coming home tonight and being able to actually see behind me when I park, but I guess it's not meant to be! I guess I'll have to return them. They weren't cheap either seeing as though I had to buy 2 as I have a 5dr!! Does anyone know a link to the RIGHT bulbs please? These are at least twice the size of the standard bulbs.

Did it look to be about 20mm diameter like the advertisement claims?

I think Candywight's was different.

Yes, mine are different - I got mine from the UK and they arrived the next day, however, the casing is silver rather than the red in the ebay listing or blue like the ones ntemis21 ordered. I think I shall have to return mine, but I might go and measure the hole in the casing first, as with it being my first time taking my car to bits I didn't want to force anything to go where it wasn't going, lol! I was going out last night so I needed my light cluster intact!

Has anyone actually ordered the same ones as me? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/350458872082#ht_2628wt_1344

@ ntemis21 - how long did yours take to arrive? I don't usually order from overseas if I can help it! Are they actually better than the original bulbs, and did they cause any errors to show up on the dash?
