I'm 99.98316% sure that the 4 SMT components on the left of the ckt(labeled M7) board are diodes. Yes the two black wires attached are toe voltage source. I believe I want to remove them, but am not 100% certain the function of the whole board yet.




Apparently the LED Bulb can run on either 12VAV or 12VDC. HA! hold on... Just found out all the info! A Step-Down LED Driver. And although they ARE diodes, removing them is moot.



It'll be a joy reading up on this!



Now for the real fun!
The next part is really unknown to me. I really have never seen these little bugger before and can not remember from what device I got them from.
And if you know what they are, how do you read them.
Oh, yes, while your at it, tell me if I have a good/bad lifeline!

 

Hello,

I think that the blue parts are little inductors.
Here you can find a coil color code:

That may be correct. I did remove them from a circuit that was inundated with inductors. Easy enough to use the color code and inductance meter to verify.
