Default Need lighting help.

I recently purchased blue LED license plate light, headlights, and interior glow under the drive and passenger dash. I tried today to plug in the license plate lights today. I had no trouble getting to the point of installation but once I plugged in the lights they wouldn't turn on. I hope this goes without saying but I did turn on the lights first. I didn't go as far as to try the headlights or interior glow. If anyone knows a place or source that has good dependable lights and could point me in that direction that would be greatly appreciate. Just in case its a 2004 ES330. Thanks.

Try unplugging an flipping the contact points around, LEDs are polar sensitive therefore they must be placed in properly. I suggest unplugging the LED flipping it around, turn on the lights first before reinstalling them, sometimes you'll have to pull the little wires outward from the base of the LED.

^ means your ebay 0.99$ leds are ****.

http://www.wardenjp.com/stores/

For some reason his ebay store doesn't sell the common bulbs anymore. Just buy from his site direct, cheaper anyways. I used to buy all my LED's from him, still have some that are over 4 years old and still working in the car...

And don't run blue LED's on your tag lights. Gayest 'mod' ever, not to mention I hope the police pull you over and fine you for 'impersonation of a police car' for adding something so distasteful to a Lexus.
