HELP!! I installed led parking lights, and they won't work??
Well just to clear things up, i installed one and it wouldn't work. But the old, ugly halogen DRL's do just fine. Is there any reason??
I bought them off of Ebay, they are the 194/168. But I did notice that on the stock lights, there are 4 wires on the base of the bulb (2 on either side). this connect to the 4 brass metal things inside the actual plug. (sorry my electrical lingo isn't too hot) but you understand what i mean. But bottomline, they wont work. someone help me.. thanks a lot

Did you guys know those are Parking Lights or City Lights. Those are NOT DRL (Daytime Running Lights). Those lights you installed do not Light Up during the Daytime. Only Night time.
Anyway, Yes those LED's need to have the correct Polarity, otherwise they will not turn on.
For regular bulbs, any charge will light them up. That's why it doesn't matter how you seat them.
