Troubleshooting Addendum:
If the adapters either don't work at all, or actually make the strobing problems even worse, it is likely one of the following issues:
1: Check continuity on the wiring harness. Occasionally there have been issues with wire processing equipment, resulting in bad crimps, and potentially a bad spool of wire too.
2: Check the voltage on the spot you're attaching the alligator clip. It should be around 5.5v to 6v, if it's 3v-4v, it's way too low and the adapters won't work there. Check other lamp locations either in the backbox or even under the playfield.
