anyone fitted LED DR lamp bulbs i cant get LHS to work with them

[RayC]

Hi all

I hate the yellow running lamp lights and bought Solar megabrite 6000k 27smd bulbs said were for T6 they fit etc but only the right side will accept it, I've tried 4 in the left it just puts bulb out display on and it wont work i can take the working one from the right to the left it still wont have it when I put ordinary bulb back in its fine, any ideas?

thanks

Ray

Swap the two wires around in the bulbholder on the side that doesnt work it will just be the polarity back to front

Yes its quite common as the standard lamp is not polarity conscious and the cables are both grey so i think its pot luck which way around they are put, i have seen vehicles where both LEDs work and i have seen ones where neither work but think yours will be like mine and @PukkaT6 where one does and one doesnt until you swap the two greys around to send 12v in to the lamp the correct way around

The RH worked ok, and the LH worked but the LH seems to affect the DAB radio reception! Not sure if I’m going mad or if this is a known fault??! I’ll try the polarity again on the LH.
