Follow this diagram. Our fluorescent housing use non-shunted tombstones.

You will need some extra wires to sambung all the connections.

Source: I hand-wired and converted a few fluorescent in my house to LED.

*DO NOT use Philips Ecofit T8 LED tube if you follow this wiring*

As far as I know, you don't need to short those 2 wire either in socket or not. The PCB inside the LED tube is already shorted. You can just ignore the other pin and connect one either side.

Determine if your LED tube light is compatible with the shunted or non-shunted tombstone configuration

If your LED tube light is single-ended, it is NOT compatible with shunted tombstones. This is because each of the two contacts in the tombstone must be opposite polarity for a single-ended LED tube light to work. In a shunted tombstone, however, this is not possible as there will be an internal short circuit.

If you have shunted tombstones, you will need to rewire or replace them and connect them to match the single-ended LED tube light manufacturers' wiring diagram.

If your LED tube light is double-ended, it is likely compatible with both shunted and non-shunted tombstones. The reason is that the two pins on each end of the LED tube light expect the same polarity, so whether or not they are shunted should have no influence on the final resulting circuit.
