    If it is too big, use a little tape on the inside to create a padding so it fits snuggly. , You will insert two straws or glass tubes into these holes, so measure to size.

    If you have one, you can also use a drill to quickly create the holes. , Place the straws/tubes into the cap and return the cap to the space over the metal in the light bulb.
