Red face LED won't light up ???

Hi all, haven't posted in here for a while How is everyone doing?

After I gave the TL a clay bar treatment today I decided to pull out the interior leds that i bought couple months back from VLEDS, still brand new in the bag. I started with the left front dome. After successfully took out the factory bulb which was lid up fine, I plugged in the led and it just didn't lid up I thought to myself okay may be it's a defect so I plugged in another one, and another one... nothing lid up. I plugged back the factory bulb and it's bright and clear again I tried the above steps with the right front dome and nothing works. Am I missing something here ?

Here are the 13-leds bulbs I tried: http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED-B...-p8804828.html
I also tried the 5-leds ones. I did a lot of researches about leds before i purchased them and pretty sure those are compatible... but

Hey there!

I'm doing good, how about you?

Did you try flipping the bulb around?
If the LED doesn't work, always flip it around.

Yes, flip the LED's around and they are a diode and only work in one direction. Hope that works.

yep the vanity is a PITA.. if u ever decide to take it out try prying it from the middle underneath the metal thing < this is important. make sure its underneath coz i tried the sides and eventually just broke the housing off ! hope this helps
