Sorry guys, I need some help again.
I got some LED sidelights, main beam and fog lights for the car. The sidelights and main beam work ok, it's just the high beam won't. No fuses have blown because the original bulbs still work after.
Haven't put the fog lights in yet but will they work? Has anyone tried this?
Help needed please.
Thanks.

Odd, can't see why they wouldn't work, unless the phase is wrong?

Have you connected them to 12V DC to check they actually work?

Keep in mind that leds only work if positive and negative poles are correct. Normal lights work regardless of which way the current flows but led does not.

This is the link. Only one pole, so which ones positive and which is negative?
Thanks

Guessing pokey in bit at the end is positive, then the flanged bit is the earth (can see it's insulated between these bits).

nope, can only wire it one way, unless you pull the wire off the bulb holder chassis and swap them round ;)
