They just need the phase wire and neutral connected to one side of the lamp usually marked with L (phase or line) and N neutral. The pins on the other side of the Led lamp don't do anything other than hold the lamp in place.

How to replace an old T8 fluorescent lamp with a Led lamp and skip the ballast and the starter
I'm writing this small guide because I could not find clear instructions on how to replace T8 lamps that still used a ballast, with led lamps.
The new led lamps don't need costly ballasts and starters anymore.

My fixture had a starter on one side. What I did was I cutted the wires that went in that direction. I only connected the live phase and neutral wires from the ceiling to the socket connection where I attached the L and N pins of the T8 Led Lamp.
Get rid of old ballasts, Magnetic or electronic. They waste energy and the electronic ones don't last much or give a shorter life to the T8 lamps. Sometimes they also buzz a lot.
I've used this Lamp T8 120cm 18w (to replace old 36w) 1800lm 4000k (cool warm normally used in office spaces)
