Nothing was stated about flipping the LED bulb around for polarity, just that he cleaned terminals and swap back to stock (which, worked fine). I had this same problem when putting mine in. It ended up being that the two wire prongs on the LED connection were backwards. I ended up bending them both to their opposite side and they then worked. Love China parts...

Either way i would buy new bulbs to be on the save side. They're not going to break the bank by any means.

 

I tried flipping the bulbs from one side to the other. Never thought about just flipping them around 180 degrees. I'll try that and let y'all know. But I did by them from a a member on here who had good reviews.

 

I installed LED reverse lights in my truck (MUCH brighter than the stock halogen) and had the same problem as you. I flipped the lights 180 degrees and now it works every time! I believe that should fix your problem

 

yeah, he said flipped..

 

The word "flipped" was not stated in any of his posts and he just admitted that he hasn't tried flipping them. We're just trying to help him fix the problem, no need to be the "always right guy"...

OP, let us know if you get them working

 

When he said...it does not matter which side the bulbs are in...i thought he "swapped" them around...my bad ...and I'm fare from Always the right guy. Maybe you shoud post more often... then we would be good to go... BTW welcome to the forum.

 

Well I have had more time to work on them and I don't know if this will help but I did flip them 180 degrees. Same. What I did notice this time was that both will come on for about a second then the one on the right side will go off.

 

sounds like some bad LEDS....I have LED's in mine and they work just fine...they were not cheap made in China LED's though...

 

Yeah probably. I guess I'll just do something productive with them. Maybe light for the bed.
