DIY superbrightleds.com festoon bulb fix

had a lot of requests for this so here it is. this is for the people with problems with the LED festoon map/dome lights that cut out or just stop working. the pics arent that great but they should do just fine

first off is the cap untouched.


now get a small flathead screwdriver and start at the base of the metal piece and pry up. it may take alittle force to break the glue and it may bend the metal alittle bit, but if the metal bends try another part. once you get it loose work your way around it til you get the metal cap all they way off.


once the cap is off the wire (pictured below) is in a little slot, and probably covered in glue so scrape the glue off and move the wire to the side
(right when cap is removed and wire is in original place)

(after wire is moved over)


then place the cap back on it


and push it all the way down and you are done with that side.


and since you cant tell which side of the bulb is messed up, do it to both sides.
