Sorry for the renewal of an old thread, but I ordered one from Ebay and I was pleased with the seller, but I had the same problem as Bork. I bent the connectors out and I had light for about 30 seconds and then nothing... I know the batteries arent dead, I had to keep bending the connector out in order to get any light at all, and I dont want to break them, either the connectors are too soft, or I am missing something, is there any other possibility for this mishap? any help would be appreciated! and they do look really nice on the zipper of a RealTree camo hoodie, just as a decoration!
