So like an idiot, I accidentally ordered BA9 replacements instead of BA15's, the larger socket ones. All bulbs in the TT are 1141's.
Are there any options to wire the BA9's into the 1141 socket?

Or should I just return them and move on?

Break the glass part of 1141 lights off. Then solder one of the connectors in the kit to the center and outside of BA15 base.

Well shipping them back to Hong Kong would cost about as much as the original transaction.

Had exactly the same problem.
Removed the original 1141's broke the glass bulb under a paper towel. Don't try to get all the glass out because you might break the bottom insulator. Twist out the center wire support. Unsolder the center wire. Use one of the new adapters with the flexible wire (they're not all the same)clip and strip the new wire and solder one to the center tip and the other to the side of the base.
Should be ready to go. BTW - I was very pleased with the result and the price.

Sell them to somebody with a truck camper. I recently upgraded my TC with LED's just like the ones you bought.

An update. I was able to catch the seller before he shipped them from Hong Kong. He gave me a full refund, said it wasn't a problem and it happens all the time. And did not leave negative feedback! A+++!
Next time Ill be more careful when ordering, making sure its right. Thank you all who chimed in.
