I like the Dremel with the various tiny ss brushes for this stuff. Works well
and fast, no sanding residue.

connection through something else -- not really ground. Current flows, and the
misdirected bulbs light up.

posts twist and are held captive, and maybe have a look at the wiring harness
pigtails where the bullet connector and socket could be corroded.
