Title: LED sidelights
Post by: markos on 05 August 2014, 14:09

ok, not sure what i've done wrong here but...

just replaced my OEM sidelights with an LED upgrade from fleabay. they didn't work, so put my old OEM bulbs back in and now they don't work either! these are the bulbs i've bought...

*edit* after reading more into it, apparently the side lights don't have their own fuse and the other lights are working fine so not a blown fuse  :undecided:
