Bulb Types
This kit includes two bulb types, classied by their general shape.
What are LEDs?
LEDs are Light Emitting Diodes, solid state devices that emit light when connected to electrical
current. They have no moving parts or wire laments to burn out. They emit a whiter light, run
cooler, and last longer that the incandescent (lament style bulbs) we are replacing in this
tutorial.
Unlike lament bulbs, LEDs are polarity sensitive. They have plus and minus (positive and
negative) electrical terminals that must match the polarity of the applied voltage. Installing the
bulbs “backwards” in the light bulb sockets (with reversed polarity) will not harm them, but they
will not light. Flipping the bulb 180 degrees in the electrical connector cures this problem.

FESTOON - Conventional incandescent festoon bulbs have a shape and general
appearance that is similar to a glass fuse.
Metal caps attached to both ends of a glass
tube are sealed to the tube and attached
to the bulb lament. End caps mount the
bulb in its holder and also conduct electrical
current.
LED festoon lights have the same pointed
end caps, but are attached to a bank of
LEDs instead of a lament tube.
WEDGE - Wedge style bulbs get their
name from the shape of the bulb base. The
tapered end of the bulb “wedges” into the
bulb socket.
LED wedge lights t the bulb socket like a
lament bulb, but are commonly polarity
sensitive.
