LED problem

TripD · 10-27-2009, 05:31 PM

I bought two new LED map lights from superbrightleds.com. When I put them in one of them stays on all the time. It is dim until I push the button then it lights up bright. The other will go on and off when the button is pressed but want come on when the door is open. I put the factory bulbs back in and they work fine. Is there anything that I can do to make the new bulbs work???????

Huh. Did you try calling the company? The led's have less resistance and take less to light. I know if you put led's in some of the marker or tail lights you need a special resistor or the turn signals flash quick like there is a light bulb out.

LEDs should work fine up there. take it out and reverse it. you may have installed it reverse polarity. LEDs will only work when installed positive to positive, and negative to negative.

Thanks, I did not know that. I will try them this afternoon when I get off work.
