I switched the polarity and tried them on both the driver and passenger side. I had them send me another pair free of charge on the basis that I thought they were DOA. Now the second pair came in today and it's the same problem.
I'm starting to feel paranoid that maybe it's not the LED, but actually the headlight harness itself. Any feedback on this?
I would stick the OEM bulbs back in but I can't find them.
you can use a voltmeter.. if not, those are just wedges, right? stick your
map light bulbs or hatch bulbs or rear plate bulbs, etc. those are all 12v wedges.
