Default Rear Dome Light Help

Quick question:

Has anyone lost power to their rear dome light when putting in a LED light? I replaced the front ones fine, but for some reason the back light just won't turn on. At first thought I blew the fuse, but the front ones work fine. Anyone come across this before?

Thanks

make sure the LED hasn't popped out. The LED festoon bulb is a little bit longer than the stock bulb. It doesn't like going into the holder straight. make sure that both ends of the LED are touching the connectors.

Also try reversing the bulb, you my have put it in backwards.

^^^ What he said. I think the festoon may be polarized.

Thanks, didn't realize the festoons were polarized. I'll check it out tonight when it cools down. We got to 117 today, damn Phoenix heat.

That is exactly what I am doing tomorrow. The heat hasn't been too bad this summer until today. It is the first day I have actually thought it was hot, supposed to be this way for the next week. Glad I am heading up north this weekend, much cooler.
