    Lightbulb GTR LED headlight ISSUE

    I purchased these LED's for my car, but they required an adaptor to get them to fit. Instead of waiting I used HID's for my car and put these on a shelf. Ironically, they are the same bulb for the F6b.

    I put them in clipped them in place and was pretty happy they fit and were secured. Connected them to give her a test, turned the key and nothing!?

    Took the lights back out, hooked them up to a 2am battery tender and WALA! They lit up!!!

    They connect, plug in....am I missing something?
    I flipped them in the plug as well.
    Stock headlights work with halogen bulbs
    The only thing I noticed is the stock bulb prongs are slightly bigger and than the connection of the led light...maybe they aren't connecting all the way? I tried to slide them in the plug, minimal movement and no light still....

    I'm stumped...why wont they work with the F6b?

    Craig--No reason I know of those lights shouldn't work. My first thought would be to check and recheck all your connections.

    I checked everything twice. Then went and hooked it up to a 2am charger...they went on

    time to break out a DVM and see what you have for voltage at the headlight connector on the source side, and which tab is + and -.

    Sounds like a good project. I sure hope they push out more than 2amps.
