I just really don't like the whole concept of the spring contacts for the festoon bulbs. Have to wonder what they were thinking when they decided that type of contact system was suitable for long-term reliability in an automotive application. I remember seeing a light assembly that incorporated a circuit board populated with surface-mount LED's, with a connector identical to the original. One connection of the harness to the light assembly with no flimsy spring/festoon connection inside to go bad...
