The earlier circuit boards were phase out by 06' and were replaced with the new ones. The principle of replacing the bulb is exactly the same, although in that you have more bulbs to work on :yup:
Just go easy with soldering and apply very little. Inspect each joint as you go and if you apply too much that it blobs over and crosses at posts, you simple remove excess solder and start again. See my photo illustration.
Basic level of soldering skills are required, TBH practice makes perfect and its really that easy :yup: You have 12 bulbs to practice on so I think you will become an expert in no time.
When done, reinspect every bulb and joins till you are satisfied. If you are satisfied with your soldering, you can apply only small amount of seal with hot glue gun at the base of the bulb to provide some insulation and support.
Take your time and most importantly, do not rush! good luck :fing02:
