If you have the socket for the bulb with the pins at the same dimension then the 1157 style bulb will not turn and lock in place. I do not believe they offer their LED bulb with the other base.
The bulb would turn and lock like it's supposed to but the contacts were not lined up right to contact locked in place. They would only contact when first pushed in.
