Third Brake Light Springs

Got a new third brake light ready to fit on the weekend. I have the standard (bigger) springs. I know of the issues with these but does it happen every time? My original lamp has no cracks so is it just a case of them being too tight in some cases? I'm wondering if I should get a set of smaller springs just to be on the safe side.

Noticeably less pressure?

Yes. Old ones are 82Nm, new ones 40Nm

Or just cut them, like Terryvision said
