Hi , "Auto electrician job" thats a short out in my opinion,save time just take it there an theyll know how to track it.Or you can waste a whole day on it when you could be doin other stuff.Sometimes its just better to bite the bullet an move on..

Got it guys
just adjusted the metal tabs on the light sockets
got lights and brake lights on both sides, sprayed the metal parts with LANNOX
unfortunately, the led body is too large at the top to fit the socket, so back to incandescent
thanx b
