I used these people too, one bulb turned out broke due to Royal Mails finest, contacted Crazyleds by phone, returned the broken bulb & a new bulb arrived within three days.

The Bulbs were a little pricey over standard filament bulbs but i cannot fault their customer service.
The new Bulbs look great as well.

Hi,

Have just changed no.plate bulbs for LED o 2.o SE Sport, n/s bulb wasnt working before I changed them and STILL doesn't!!

have checked bulbs, thats not the problem, must be the contacts?have cleaned these up but no joy.

anyone any ideas please?

Have you tried swapping the bulbs round, the good one you know works to double check that it is the connectors in the boot at fault?

I would then check the wiring, check there is power getting to it with a multimeter. I guess to get to the connectors you need to remove the trim behind the boot lid.

LED bulbs have a polarity i.e a +ive and -ive terminal you need to get it the right way round to work. If it doesn't work try flipping it around, it should solve your problem.

Hi, thanks for replies,

Ive had multimeter out and there are 3 pins in wiring that goes to boot lid-

1 for n/s plate bulb

1 for boot release

1 for o/s plate bulb

the n/s pin has no power to it, must be a break in the wireing somewhere, but not sure where....

Me 2 £6 worth a try

Motormouth,

As you cant determine where the break is, may I suggest either spurring off the good wire (the number plate light that works) or putting a double connector on the good bulb holder and feed the cable through to the light that doesnt work - the power will be on the same feed so should not get any warnings I would have thought.

will save you trying to locate the break and removing all sorts of trim.

Trust me you wont be diapointed.

The attached Pic shows the comparison with the LED to a normal filament bulb.
