See, I've always had a problem with LED side lights on my Polo. I've tried several sets and none of them ever work. The normal side lights work just fine so I know it's not a connection problem. The LED versions slot nicely in with the connectors connecting where they should but when I turn the side lights on I get nothing. What could be going wrong?

LED lights are polarised so will only work one way around. It they dont work one way, turn them round and see what happens ;)

I'm pretty sure I tried that but I'll give it one more try. Cheers for that :)

Any luck with your bulbs dude?.As alex says it's polarity contious,after all it is a diode.I hope they work on my headlights,should do though especially if other people are running them.
