could be a bad fuse, and if worse comes to worse you could need a new set of LEDs


check your owners manual for the fuse size and location

I agree because A) if it were a bad fuse, the wouldn't ever work, period, and B) I see this problem about once a month in TLs (hence why we stock the part at all times).

Cheap part, easy to install yourself. Good link from Inaccurate.
