Default LED Upgrade interior.

hey guys,
quick question, just purchased a set of LED boards from Nigel JDM parts, vender here on CL. great price, great reviews, LEDs seem to be of good quality but I haven't had much luck on the install of these LEDs. I mean the LEDs come with a couple of adapters but only 1 seems like its the correct possible fit for the DOME-LIGHTS; after install neither of the LED boards turned on, thought it may be the connection of my SC but after the LEDs didnt work i reinstalled the OEM lights & those worked , so its got to be that I'm not installing these LEDs correctly. Has anyone out there ever done this upgrade? and if so, do you have any words of advice? cause Im completely lost & frustrated & i really want these things to work... any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.

take the adapter out and turn it around 180 degrees , Led are polarity sensitive. If it does not work one way just unplug it and turn it around and plug it back in.

Mrblister is correct, the led's are polarity sensitive, I put the led's in my car and had to cut the wires and switch them around to get them to work and they work great! Really like them!!

MDPUf Is also right I forgot the adapter plug can only go in one way so you do have to cut the wires and reverse them and the led's will be fine

That exactly what happened when I did my LEDs...The instructions included with mine mentioned it... of course be college educated, who needs to read instructions for such a simple task as changing a light "bulb"....LOL.... after two attempts I went back and read it and voila' they worked just fine. Lesson learned, once again.
