unfortunately I cannot replace the old one.  I determined that it was
the wire because I originally had the wire along the entire backside of
the panel and it was really dark...then I moved it as far away as I
could and it brightened right up.  the problem now is the location
where the wire actually connects to the panel...is darker than the rest.
