Changed all my bulbs for SuperWhite LEDs

My foot well LEDs are not working it's not the bulbs though must be the housing going try a diff connector in there

Have you double checked you haven't got the LEDs in the wrong way around... ?

X2 some only work a certain way!

You did use the canbus LEDs in the footwell didn't you?

As others have said, LEDs only work one way round

i bought hem off Matt here

I had canbus leds in them and they were working i am now using them for the sidelights so  left them disconnected for a couple of days till the same leds arrived in the post!

Problem now is but there not comign on i then tested the same leds in the map light and they worked so that rules the leds being faulty

the footwell lighting are on them clip style connectors  so i might try them in another location to actually see if the light housing is fecked such as the boot light then that will rule the housing out alternatively i have the door exit lights which use the same style connector so i may try them in the footwell just to check the wiring is ok

 unless theres a fuse for the footlights otherwise am not sure whats up with them it cant be a coincidence that both sides have stopped working all i did was take the leds out of there and use them for the sidelights

any help ?

try the light in a different plug
The diode could be loose

The footwell lights are switched on by the CECM

managed to finally get round to installing the interior LED bulbs.

The only problem i found was that the glove box light would work with 5SMD 501 W5W LED's (the same ones as the map lights). Tried flipping them over, tried a known working LED bulb, nothing.

However, tried the bulb for the foot well (8SMD CANBUS W5W LED) and it works... anybody else have this issue?

Thanks

Mine did the same but I tapped/ banged the bulb holder from outside once in situe and it works now ave got issues with footwell lights even with halogens it ain't lighting up

forgot to mention, one of the red LED lights (the ones near next to the map reading lights hadnt worked since i bought the car. Taking the light unit apart and re-assembling somehow has got it working again! Bonus!

[monte]

by the way... my 55 plate gti has 3 lights up front.

the headlining (with all lights etc) I picked up for my friend from a 07 golf only has 2 lights up front.

Strange.
