I'm trying to fix a couple of lamps that are out on my Batman Forever. I ordered new lamp holders for the mini bayonet bulbs from Pinball Life but I see that they don't have the diodes that are on the same holders on my machine. I saw that Pinball Life also carried diodes that look identical to the ones in my machine so I ordered some of those as well. I assume that I'll need those diodes on my mini bayonet holders, so do I just solder the diodes on before installing them in my machine? I know that I'll need to make sure to solder them in the right direction. Is there anything else I need to be concerened about? Thanks for your input.

See - that's what I post here for. Because I don't know what I am doing and I know that there are people here that do.
