i bought some 12v led position clear indicator bulbs that glow orange from incar mart, so i can fit clear side repeaters.
ive just fitted them and they dont work, im stumped? sent the first set back as i thought they were just faulty, but the new ones dont work either now?
is it something to do with the wiring to the bulbs? normal ones work just fine.

Check them off the battery terminals to make sure they work.
This is how it should have come out of Torino!

sometimes leds need resistors to work as due to the lower voltage they can either not work, stay on or flash at the wrong speed

cheers for the input gents. Saying + to -, should i swap the connectors round just down the circuit from the bulb housing, at the connector block? Will try this tomorrow and post results.

Ahh I had the exact same problem I take it yours are ba9s which unlike the 501 t10 capless wedge cannot be spun 180 degrees??
For some reason my wires are different too so I sent a pair back that I had abs brought from another person I got mine from a company called red..line off eBay
Hope this solves yer problem
