Default Having the worst luck with my LIGHTS. Come on VLED

Ok I dont know what the heck is going on with my car. I have installed all these parts from VLED and everything is LED.

VLED DRLs with MODULE.
City lights
Puddle mirror lights
Rear turn signals
16v hyper blinking fix from VLED
Reverse lights


Ok heres a few problems

DLR/High beams no longer work and started today, (Had them on for a week)
Puddle light on passenger side doesnt work but driver's side work
Reverse light on right side doesnt work but the left side is really nice and bright
My car lights no longer flash when i unlock/lock the car using my keys.


If i knew all these problems were going to occur I would've left everything STOCK.

I had some issues with the "revised" versions of VLED's bulbs. I believe i went thru 3 bulbs in about 2 months. Nobody was having issues with the old ones at all, but I hear these new revised LEDs are giving some people headaches, but working just fine for others. You tried the basic flipping the bulb over and plugging it again to reverse the polarity right? Most of them only work when put in one way. But if you're having issues with them lighting up and then going out soon...i'm there with you. I gave up

You guys I have had a couple of problems with the vleds led lights. I always write an email to vled customer service and they always ALWAYS replie back with good news. VLED ALWAYS makes things right. Just give them a ring or email they will fix it.

Ok now this is pissing me off. I'd expect their bulbs to be high quality for the price I paid.

they are I think the manufacture of the leds have been slacking. I paid more money for better stuff and they do last forever. I have had three issues all three issues have been taken care of no questions asked.

Hopefully this will answer 3 out of 4 of your questions.

Puddle light on passenger side doesnt work but driver's side work
Try what KillaIS250 said and turn the LED, it could be the incorrect polarity therefore not lighting up.
Reverse light on right side doesnt work but the left side is really nice and bright
Same as above
My car lights no longer flash when i unlock/lock the car using my keys.
There's a thread about that floatin around about VLED flash relay for the LED turn signals. Although it will fix the hyper blinking, the trade off will be that when you arm/disarm the car the signals will not flash.
