I have tons of these plug and play lights all over my layout. They are so realistic. The wires that come off the actual lamps are very fine in order to fit in these scale lights. Get a magnifying glass if you can’t see them. They are coated wires. The ends are bare with no coating. You have to be sure that you don’t push the wires too far into the spring loaded plug, otherwise it pinches the coated part and not bare part. Also, you have to have the polarity correct. Again if you can’t see the different colors get a magnifying glass. One is red/copper color and one is black. Because they are so thin it can be hard to see. 2 lights get attached to one plug. That’s why they want you to twist the pair of reds and pair of blacks together and then insert into the spring loaded plug lead. If they are not lighting you have your colors mixed up or you don’t have the bare ends twisted together. The wire colors must match the holes you put the wires in the spring loaded lead. You can’t just use either hole, the colors must match! You can use some sandpaper to scrap off coating if you need more bare end, but make sure you don’t go too far up so the wires don’t short.
