[FC] Rampside Light brightness /visability issues?

[N2VZD at aol.com]

i can not believe the replacement led bulbs wont fit your sockets , plus  the 
led units DO run cooler and draw less current (may require a new  variable 
load flasher) than stock bulbs.  now 2057 or 3057 bulbs (they are  NOT led's) 
are a touch brighter and more durable filament construction , so may  run 
slightly warmer , but they dont melt fc lenses..i have done this . also try  
brightening up the socket area behind the lit part of the lens with white or  silver.
polishing / grinding lenses to a thinner cross section was a dream i have  
not tried yet.
i would double check your sockets . the contact pins get set up in the  
sockets requiring tinker time to free up or need rebuilding with new insert  parts 
available at flaps. take the socket right off to do this , it is not that  
hard to do. when you get done pack the socket with Vaseline or similar stuff to  
keep them free.  the pins have to move to work. check by pulling on the  wires 
and feel them move a little in the socket.
this is obviously a condensed explanation..
