The 1156 and 1157 bulbs are fine, and the ones you get from Moss or V.B.
will be identical. The sockets are just generically loose by
design. Sometimes it helps if you can bend the flexible contacts forward a
bit. If you have a problem with bad contacts, put a little silicone grease
on them after cleaning.
