Welcome fellow prototypers! This communities' purpose is to help others and share functional 3D Printing related information. While other 3D Printing Communities are a good resource, sometimes too many help posts get buried under memes and fluff. This will remain technically focused and keep the fluff removed. Please help your fellow 3D Printer hobbyists as much as you can with their issues! and showcase your functional prints and how you use or created them.

Cool, are those LED's or old school halogen's?
I keep buying G4's LED's to replace my old halogen's, but they never last.
Going by the first pic, the cover looks like plastic, so it's probably LEDs. Halogen lamps would need (more) venting holes and/or more "space" inside the housing.
And if your G4s are constantly dying, it's either "just" crappy quality with overdriven LEDs, or it could also be the housing. Halogens are a bit more heat resistant, so if you don't have enough ventilation the LEDs just cook themselves to death.
Those are some kind of neon lights (at least that’s what I was told)
