    Default VZ interior light not working

    Went to autobarn to today and got some blue LED lights for my interior lights in my VZ Exec, my back lights worked, but i tried a couple of sets of 4light LED lights on the front interior lights but they didnt work, and even the guy from autobarn came out and tried to fix it but it didnt make them work, my standard VZ lights work perfectly but the blue LED's didnt? Does anyone know what else i can do? Does anyone know if i can get blue covers or if i can get blue globes or interior spray to make the globes glow blue? Im in dire need? Or does anyone know what blue globes i can get to make them work?

    Thanks all.

    did you try turning the globe around... LED's have an annode and cathode.. if you had it around the wrong way... then epic fail

    hey mate, i know ur new to all this stuff, but try to keep related threads in previous threads u have made, there are about 5 or 6 threads u have made, 2 of which are to do with the interior light, and about 4 or 5 about exhaust quieries. if you need to know more info about interior lights, just ask in the first thread as a new post, someone will read it and answer in there instead of all these threads. just a heads up... noticed a few people getting pretty pissed about it.

    LEDs are directional, they have a right and a wrong way of going it. If they don't work try flipping them 180 degrees.
