hi.i was changing the rear tail/stop bulb on my car replacing it with an led bulb the thing is it wont light up now even with original bulb back in,i looked in the manual to see if the fuse is labelled rear tail light but there no 1 fuse designated to this paricular bulb,the led indicator in the rear casing is working just not the bulb,any ideas how fix this people.i dont want to go ahead with other light just incase the same thing happens by the way all other lights are working on my car :eusa-think:

Hi... Check the connections on the bulb holder.. Hard to explain but it should be a bit springy when the bulb is in place... It's quite easy to loose this springiness so the bulb doesn't make contact with the power supply . !!!

Jassy,
try turning the LED bulb around, LED's only work one way,even though they will slot in both ways, they are not like a normal bulb that will work any way round ;)

your correct jactac yes it will only go in 1 way and have tried this,just been off the phone to autobulbs the say the pins may have the polarity reversed and since they can only go in way that maybe thats the case also the diagnostic display is telling me the bulbs are faulty because the leds are of very low resistance and the car cant pick up a resistance so shuts out any current going to them,so ounce again i have to send bulbs back they cost me £25 as well. now ounce they get these back they are going send me even more expensive leds 92 led bulbs at a cost to me of £30 :wtf: i must be bonkers :wtf:

Jassy,
i think you need "error free canbus" LED's.

Not sure why the originals wont work though, try turning off the ignition and leaving it for a few mins then put the old bulb back in BEFORE you switch on any power.

You and your LEDs jassy. I'm surprised that you still have any standard bulbs left on the car. You must be the LED expert on this forum by now surely?

Jassy,
Just curious, have you changed the front DLR / sidelight to an LED.
i'm thinking about doing it, as last night i caught a glimpse of the sidelight in a shop window , its bloody yellow compared to the headlights.

The bulb is brighter when its in DLR mode but when you turn the headlights or sidelights on it dims down to a horrible yellowish tint.

I know it can be changed to an LED as i've seen pics on here somewhere of the LED, it has a double connector type of thing, so that it has two levels of brightness like the standard bulb. but it will not be this horrible yellow tint even at its lowest level.
