    Default LED Parkers, only one turns on.

    Hi guys today i got some Narva LED globes for the parkers.

    I have tried this before with cheap chinese ones and have the same problem. The parker in the left hand side works fine. Yet the one in the right hand side will not turn on.

    Now before you say it. I have tried every option. Swapping the globe holder, swapping the globes, turning the globes the other way.

    I know both the globes work because i have tested them and they both work on the LHD side.

    It's infuriating. The normal halogen ones work on the RHD but the LED ones will not.

    Please anyone with some ideas. let me know.

    Thanks

    not sure mate but i went though 2 sets of LED parkers and found they didnt work after a few hours or start to flicker, i discovered the radiant heat from the low beam globe gets too hot and stuffs them.
    best off to put them in your number plate lights on the boot.

    Ye, i already have them in the boot lights, but i just put in some Xenon H11 low beams and it looks ridiculous with the standard "yellowish" parkers so i thought i needed some parkers to match the bright 5000k colour. I'm just confused, there has to be an issue somewhere.

    No need to fret!

    I went back outside then to check out my handywork and it wasn't working, went inside the car to reset the time on the radio from where i was disconnecting the battery all day.

    Low and behold! i came back to the front and the little bugger was working.

    Cheers.
