I have bought 2 sets of these now and neither of them have worked!

Can someone recommend me a good set please that do work?

Thanks

Some are polarity sensitive, did you try putting them in both ways

They can only fit one way cant they? As they have a flat edge same as the holder?

You may need to reverse the polarity of the wires that go into the back of the light - my sidelights were like that and the SMD/LED only worked one side so I had to reverse the wires on the other side so they worked.

Ok cheers mate, is it easy to swap the wires round?

Just cut them and reconnect the other way round - either way round they will still work with the standard bulbs ;)

Why did you swap the wires over on the sidelights? A sidelight bulb will go in both ways....
