Gel Caps won't light

I just installed isspro gauges, and put a 194g (green) bulb in the boost gauge, works fine. Only problem is tranny and pyro have smaller bulbs in them, so I bought some green gel caps at Pep Boys. They won't light at all. I assume I will have to tear it all apart again to find the problem. The gel caps stretched over the entire bulb, and my guess are not letting bulb make contact where it should be. Anyone have problems like this? Thanks Jcab

Your probably right. The light condoms arent letting the light make contact to complete the circuit. Tear into it and take a look. Its probably something stupid. Good luck

Streatched Condoms Over Lights

THAT'S ONE HECK OF A TERM FOR LIGHT COVERS, I HATE TO TEAR IT APART, BUT I STRECTCHED THE COVERS OVER BULBS SO THEY WOULDN'T COME OFF AFTER INSTALL, THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR TRYING TO DO TO GOOD OF A JOB. JCAB
