I bought a bunch of comet LEDs. I am pulling out the incandescent bulbs and putting 2SDM ones in. Odd thing is... sometimes the comet ones work and sometimes not. I will plug an incandescent one back in to test and it works but then the LED doesnt. Some work though. After got about 8 comet LEDs in and working... they all started to flicker (but not the incandescents) It isn't slight... it makes the backglass shake. These are 2SDM 2835 6.3V YT10 555. What's going on?

BTW... I just started a game and the lights stopped flickering.

There is now a section that wont take the LEDs. Just that section. Strange.
Is this the best game to use LEDs on? I noticed while I played that the backbox does dim (like you say) during moments of excitement. The dimming looks kinda cool.

thank you for the pictures. I have been bending the wires. But there is a patch of about 10 bulbs that will just not let the comets work. All other bulbs work in them (incandecents and some old crapy LEDs I have) but not the 2SDM comets.
