Review on πŸš— Canbus Error Free 31mm DE3175 LED Festoon Bulbs - Amber, 21SMD 3014 Chipsets for Car Interior Dome Map Trunk Light - 4pcs by Drew Panah

PCB corners are interfering with proper installation

PCB corners are interfering with the "c" connectors on my Chevy Express dome and reading lights when I try to point the LEDs down. Apparently the corners are pushing out the clips, pushing the terminals apart and breaking electrical contact. They work when the bulb is rotated from the down position, but I want them to face down. Another questionable design is the proximity of the aluminum heatsink to electrical contacts. Each end is approximately 2mm from the contact points of the lamp, creating the risk of a short circuit. I blew a fuse there. On the plus side, the LEDs were bright, the color was as expected and didn't get very hot (I burned my finger pulling out the old bulbs haha).
