All LEDs for dome and map lights worked fine, but the I can't get the license plate lights to light up. Anyone have this issue?

I just put my chinese LEDS in earlier this week, they work fine. Are you sure your contacts are uh... contacting?

I've bought ones that were 5-smd and were about $4.00. I never had problems with them, they've worked since i bought them a few months ago. Maybe you just happened to get a bad set.

The T10 plate lights can easily be inserted the wrong way. Take them out and turn them 180° and reinsert. LED's have polarity, incandescents don't.

That's what I like to hear! I can't wait to get some nice white light and actually see things. The yellow makes it hard at times.

This is more than likely your problem.

Ya I'll give this a go to make sure, but I thought I already tried that. I'll let you all know, and if that doesn't work I'll try some from vleds.com or something.
