right ok, theres 2 types of black ones, you said 1 bulb is ok but not lighting up originally, thats the wrongs bulb holder.
The difference is in the metal tags.
Anyway if you have the right ones in then turn it back slightly so its not fully turned, that gets em working on a fresh bit of the pcb. |
