Default LED Interior Lighting Kit

i ordered LED Interior Lighting Kit from Sewell Lexus around end of march, and i didnt have anytime to install them so i put them in the trunks. so i tried to install them today starting with the led door lights. i plugged in the lights and it wouldnt come on.. could it be possible that i did something wrong or since i left the lights in the trunk for long time is it broken?

Unless the LED's got crushed or you spilled something on them they should be fine. Heat buildup in the drunk should not effect the LED's if thats what your worried about.

Try turning the LED's around the other way, you might have the contact points reversed.

hey odj1989. when i got my led lights from sewell every light turned on except the right passenger clear led light. I thought it was a defective part, but it was not.

The passenger light part with the led light in the middle is composed of 2 pieces. you have to sepearte the 2 pieces, pull out the led bulb, rotate the bulb 180 degrees n stick it back into the light piece.

the bulb was some how reversed when they shipped it to me. It worked out for me and hope this helps. let us know what happens.

+1 this also happened to me except it was on both lights. That most likely is your problem...
