We grabbed the spare assembly from the engineering trailer, along with a second new bulb. After installing those two, we tested the FFL again and found the other two bulbs were now burnt out. I removed the burndy from the NW and reconnected it with no luck. We then took the spare assembly that was taken out of the NE spot and installed it into the NW spot and it worked. So we went to get another fresh bulb from the eng trailer and installed it into the SE spot. All four FFL are finally working.
