feston LED

Post by sturach » Sat Dec 04, 2010 3:15 pm

Hi all



have any of you had problems with fitting these to the interior lighting



As i start to clip them in they light up but as you click them home they go out



as if the contact is lost i've tried a few 38mm LED but they are all the same



any help is grateful

Try squeezing the tails together a bit and then fit the bulbs.
