Small Bear LED Bezels

Anyone know how to get the led and rubber insert to stay in there?

I just installed one of the bezels myself and I know what you are talking about. Have you tried different size LEDs? There are T3 and T1 size LEDs. If you get the right size LED, it slides far into the bezel and the rubber insert secures the LED pretty well. I know the T3 sized LED is too big. The LED I used was the next size smaller but I don't know what size it was as I got it from a grab bag full of LEDs.

right on, guess I had the larger LEDs. I ended up using a wood block and hammer to get those in there all the way. I tried it out on one and it didn't break so continued on. Not a pretty way of doing things I know, but worked.

Oh and I emailed Small Bear, they now have this included in their FAQ.
