Exclamation 7443 v-led switchback problem

Hey guys, I just bought the last pair of 7443 switchback turn signals from v-leds and cannot get them to work. I thought they were a direct swap? Resistors are on their way soon and I knew the switchbacks would hyperflash, but wanted to install them in the meantime and I'm not getting any output from them whatsoever. I tried both sides with both bulbs and nothing. Finally re-installed the stock bulbs and they work fine. Any suggestions? Anyone else with this problem? Am I missing something? Thanks for your help.

^ What he said.

Also, pull out the contacts away from the wedge a little bit to ensure they make contact with the connectors in the pigtail harness.

Thanks guys. I just figured that the amount of attempts I tried with each bulb switching them out multiple times on each side that there was no possible way that I could have put them in the wrong way every single time. I went out there first thing this morning half asleep and installed them the right way the first attempt on both sides and was done in fifteen minutes. They look awesome in the day but haven't been able to see them at night.
