I replaced the dome light bulbs from this LED kit.

ABEN 42 Pieces Interior Car Lights 28 mm 31 mm 36 mm 41 mm BA9S T5 T10 LED Bulb Kit LED Dome Light for Map Dome Trunk Cargo Door Courtesy License Plate Light (White) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09Z2W76SM/?tag=jkforum-20

Front dome lights work fine. Rear "festoon" style bulb spins freely and won't turn off when you close the doors.

I'm using the 42mm one. The largest one. There is also a 36mm long one that I can try. But I'm pretty sure its to short. I tried looking up the size on superbrightleds.com but they only show bulbs for the front dome light.

Can anyone confirm the size of LED they used in the rear? Or any solution? I tried reversing it too. No change.
 
42mm is the size of the rear dome. You might have to squeeze the tabs together ever so slightly to make a tighter fit. I never had and luck with non canbus bulbs. I ordered these when I did my interior https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G1JL5M2/?tag=jkforum-20
I didn't notice these weren't canbus. Damn. I'll try the crimping it trick. But will return these and look for a canbus set. I know thats important.
