LED Number plate lights- holder not working?
« on: August 20, 2012, 10:21:11 pm »
Hi guys,

I have a recently changed the standard bulbs to LED bulbs but it seems one of the holders isn't working... The holders look identical so can't understand why that might be?

Has anyone else experienced this? Here are pics of them both...

I See you have the canbus type too. Have you turned the bulb round the other way?

By the other way, do you mean so the connecting points are reversed? I haven't but Would that make a difference?

Just take the bulb out and turn the bulb so that the contacts go the other way round.

LEDs only work one way round  :happy2:
