Issue during new LED install

Installed my Fathers' Day present today (thanks Bonnie & Caleb!) and had a small issue.

The drivers' side back-up light didn't work. Everything else did though. Checked all connections and all seemed well. Re-connected OEM to make sure it was getting pwer and there was no problem there. Plugged back in the new ones and they worked fine!!

This is my take and LPC seem to agree. while the top set are very specific that they are plugged in the same way, the bottoms make no distiction. However they will only work if they are plugged in correctly. I couldn't tell how to tell so I guess I got lucky on one and then again when I plugged the other back in.

Thought I share this in case anyone else has the same issue.

All LED lights are pos/neg specific because of the circuit board needed to light them. You forgot to mention which color lights you have, a picture would be nice too....

It would have been nice if they'd mentioned it for lowers like they marked the uppers. Not a biggie and all is well!

I got the chrome and will have some pis up later.
