Well.. I would guess if the lights worked normally before the LEDs and then did not after LED installation, there is a problem with the LEDs. All my light bulbs are stockers so, maybe one of the LED installation guru's can shed some light, no pun intended.

Well I need to figure something out lol Cus this ain't right

You may have installed them backwards. LED stands for Light Emitting Diode. A Diode is like a check valve, current can go one way but not back. They limit current to one direction. So you cannot use them backwards.

It is a long shot, but worth a try. Best thing to do is to install all the stock bulbs back in there, and install one LED at a time and test each one after.

You can also tell what side is positive by plugging them into a 12V source to test with. Then use a multimeter to figure out what side is positive and what side is negative.

WOOT! I am glad we were able to solve this issue!

I put LEDs on my rear tail lights last year, and was reminded they only work one way.
