Hi everyone,

Ive got a question about LED light bulbs for vehicles... I recently purchased a pair, as you can see within my attachment. Last night I got around to installing them but was greatly disappointed when they did not illuminate what so ever. I tried hooking them up to a 6v battery I had laying around to no avail either.

I was wondering why this may be, I know the LEDs draw less energy but I would have thought the manufacturer would have accounted for that someway in order for them to work.

Regards,
Darryl

It might just be a defective product.
Is there a chance that you made a mistake in the installation? Double-check your connections.
If they're high-beam units, was your dimmer switch in the proper position?
That's all that I can think of.
