These are the last bulbs in the house that I have not been able to change over to LED.
You might be thinking to yourself, they only turn on for 1 minute, what is the big deal. I've started to notice if both bulbs are plugged in and you run the opener too many times, the opener starts to over heat. No bulbs, and the opener keeps going like the energizer bunny.
I've tried almost every single LED bulb that I've been able to get my hands. And the hole is designed for only this type of bulb unfortunately.
Any Suggestions?
The plate where the bulbs sit is not screwed in, it's welded into the opener. I thought about making the hole bigger, but worry about damaging the opener.

I do think the opener is named incorrectly - it should be Ambass-a-door. But that doesn't affect the solution:
Get an extender
IMHO, $2.74 isn't much compared to the hassle of cutting a hole in sheet metal and risking ruining a functional garage opener.
