Yes...try flipping it. LED bulbs are polarity dependent. If you put them in one way and they don't work, flip them and try again. Otherwise look at the wires on the bulb and make sure that they're straight and making contact with the electrical socket blades.
Good luck!

I think they do but I'm just having him try something. It's a little confusing about what exactly is going on since they both light up when the door is opened.
my1s250, when you say "unlock the door only the rear light up" you're unlocking the doors and not opening them? Or you're opening the rear doors only? Please explain....

I also notice this issue with ijdmtoy leds for my Audi S4. I then switched over to VLEDs. The problem is gone. So I think it's the LEDs. Now I run VLEDs on both my Audi and IS350. Having seen both types of light...subjectively I feel VLEDs are of better quality.
Good Luck

you have 3 194 bulb sockets on the front dome... which one did you plug into? If i remember correctly from my sedan days, tap the middle one. When you unlock the doors only the middle bulb turns on. When you open the doors, all 3 turn on. Same thing for the back dome lights.. there are 2 festoon sockets. 1 turns on when you unlock, and both turn on when the doors are open.
Hope that helps.

Front led should ve in the middle socket and rear should be the socket toward the front...
