Quoted from ROMM:Can I use the 2 lead bayonet sockets (shown below) to change out the flakey plastic 555 sockets in the GI? Not quite sure how you wire the bayonet socket, as the mounting bracket is not connected to the bulb socket. I guess I would just need to connect the braid wire to the socket lead, and the other wire to the top-most lead? Some of the other insert fixtures in my EBD have the mounting bracket actually connecting to the socket, and the braid wire soldered to it, but the fixture in the pic below looks like the mounting bracket cannot be used in this fashion.
The reason I ask is because have have a bunch of the 2 lead fixtures like in the pic, and I was wondering if I could use them.[quoted image]
Your ground wire would have to go from tab to tab. You would need insulated wire. Lots of work with a final hacked up look. Just buy the new socketed boards and make it look professional for

i recommend you not use them. They could work but they are too short and since the ground braid would need to go to each tab it would be a pain.
