Hi folks, just giving you all a heads up to check the contact points on all your florecent lights in your trailers. I had a little fire in mine today because of this. I have a Triton trailer that had the double pin bulbs installed from factory. When driving the bulbs are rattling and are rotating causing the contactors to barely touch. One bulb caught fire and after looking at all the other 8 every single one was already shorting and starting to burn. One of the other connectors was also half broken causing a short. These contact pins are a piss poor design for ssomething that is designed to bounce down the road. Take a look and inspect if you have these!!!! I got away lucky because I was in the trailer wrenchn' when mine went up and was able to put it out without any real damage. Had a guy been outside takin a piss or something, it could have been game over.
