Help with Cree reverse bulb
 
I purchase cree reverse leds and when I installed them I only put in the drivers side led so I could compare the light output to the passenger side halogen bulb. When I put the truck in reverse my 10w fuse would blow, so I replaced it then put a halogen bulb on the driver and a cree bulb on the passenger side. Both sides would light up. So i took that bulb and swapped it with the drivers side and i smelt a burning smell. Now both bulbs will not work on either side. However, the halogens would both work on both sides. Please explain how I screwed the lights up and why They will not work.

I had the same problem with the cargo lights I just disconnected the battery and installed them and reconnected the battery and the worked fine it was the weirdest thing but it worked

Are they the real CREE bulbs?? Mine worked fine no issues.. Why would you want to compare a hologen bulb to a LED?? CREE is 3X brighter

Yes they are real CREE. I wanted to compare for my own just to see how much better I was getting. I know they are a lot better.

After you did that did you have to get all new bulbs or did the old ones work?

The same Cree bulbs worked after I disconnected and reconnected the battery
