led sidelight problem
« on: 20 January 2010, 12:38 »
I just a set of these delivered,took the bulb holders out and fitted them.
Went and started the car up and switched the sidelights on,only 1 bulb lights up(the 1 nearest the battery)took that one out and the other side still doesn't light up.so took the non working one out and put the original one back in which lit up straight away.
Any ideas why the led one wont work on the drivers side?
These are the ones i got

I  should have said above,i got 4 bulbs and they all work fine but just at the passenger side,even when i leave that side without a bulb and put one at the other side its still no working.

turn the connector round

LEDs are +- sensative

+ must be +

i never run with only sidelights, i used the white ones in my GF's car and they dont look so nice
