pc end caps

[primfran]

I got some free pc bulbs, but 1 problem. they are straight pin and my fixture is square pin. anyone know if it is possible to change the endcaps so i can use these bulbs?

you can buy an adapter for straight to square or you can change the end caps but will need to do some retrofitting to the lights. i will get the adapters and you can always go back to square

i saw the adapters on ebay for like $25. new endcaps are like $5. what retro fitting would i have to do?

Have to cut the wires swap the caps and solder them back together... Not hard if ya have a little skills with diy and soldering... If not buy the adapter...

Soldering isnt that bad. Just do some practice runs and you will get the hang of it quickly.

thanks all. i just bought the adapters, now i can use either bulb.

Most endcaps are push or stab connectors so no soldering required.
