dwiens87 Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I just bought two of these to replace my map light http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Control/Product/fp/vpid/4810385/vpcsid/0/SFV/32481# I replaced them but i noticed that the LED bulbs dont have a flat piece of metal on the ends like the stock bulbs. The LED bulbs said they would fit, and they do fit, VERY tight fit. However when i turn the power on, nothing happens. Ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark34 Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Did you try turning them around? LEDs usually only work one way. I bought the puddle lamps from FastWRX and was about to complain and then I tried installing the other way and they came right on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandragonrage Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 LEDs only work one way, no usually about it. That is the point of a diode, and LED is a type of diode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwiens87 Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 I would post some but im trying to figure out how to cut out the cloudy part where the light shines through. Its not bright enough in the car so i think by removing it and replacing it with a clear piece it will be much brighter....any ideas....cuz im so lost. how do you cut plastic?
