I used Blue SMD t10 and t5 bulbs. the t10 bulbs fit in the t5 sockets if you shave the sides down a millimeter or 2

I can't believe people still have to post on this subject.
And if you read about hotspots I'll bet dollars to donuts that they also mentioned where they got their LEDs/bulbs and exactly what they used.
