AC/DC (Premium)
Stern, 2012So I picked up some blue LED 906 flashers for the Lightning bolts on my ACDC. They don't work.
I can run 12v to them direct and they work so I know it's not just bad bulbs. Standard incandescent 906 flashers work just fine.
Are they just not receiving a long enough pulse to light up?
Have never ran into this before.

Could be the metal contacts on bottom of bulb need to be adjusted a bit because it's not contacting the metal in the socket. Or try putting bulb in if it doesn't work try to take bulb out and rotate it and put back in. Did you try the flashers in test? If so did you make sure coin door was shut so 12v is active?

I haven't messed with the sockets yet. I tried them in diagnostics with the door shut as well as in gameplay and nada. I tried rotating them and still no love.
Ok.
I'm an idiot. Must not have had them pushed in far enough. I am now temporarily blinded on successful lightning bolt shots 
Life is good.
Glad you got your bulb issue fixed. I installed these on my AC/DC, so much nicer than the factory bolts. I had the blue filters installed as well.

Yeah, those are nice. For $5.00 Vs. $145, I am happy with the results
