I have LEDs in my under door entry lights.
The plug in the car had 2 metal scooplike extensions to keep the bulb from shaking loose. Those same pieces form the contacts for the T10 connector deeper down the housing.
The first pair of LEDs were of the soldered-on-board type. One of them shorted the clamps and blew a fuse.
I now have small 2x5 LED grids in them with a small wired connector. No more shorting.
If you see metal thingies around the lamp assume they bear current and make sure the LED or whatever you put in does not short them.
