  • @asalazar40
    @asalazar40 9 месяцев назад +2

    I used the same parts but found that the led bulb wires would break and once in the groves prevented the bulbs from sitting flush and no longer locked into place. The grey based bulbs have small fragile copper sleeves that break rending the bulbs useless.

    • @looseaxles
