HELP!! (don't buy from v-led)
So I bought a bunch of LEDs from V-LEDs and it ****ed up all of my lights. I'll start by saying which lights I replaced:
Low beam headlamp Parking light Sidemarker Turn signal (dual filament) I turned off the car and removed the entire headlight assembly from the car and replaced all the bulbs. After I put the headlight back in and fired up the car everything stopped working except for my low-beams. I'll list what doesn't work now: Parking light Sidemarker Turn signals Rear tail lights (the ones that stay on all the time, when I apply the brakes it still works.) Dome lights Dash lights (They stay on 100% I can't dim them) My entire console doesn't light up. On my navigation the fuel economy thing doesn't work anymore, it can't tell how much gas I'm using. I checked all the fuses and they are okay. I also replaced all the bulbs with the stock bulbs and everything still doesn't work. What can be the problem? Somebody please help me! |
That sucks sorry about that hope it gets fixed
|
This is one of the reasons why i dont do anything on my car myself.
|
wow im 99% sure YOU f'ed up your lights not VLEDS...ive been ordering from vleds for 2 years now without a problem...
|
I just got some bulbs from VLED but two of the bulbs were not making a good electrical contact. So I simply bent the contact points in a little bit to make better contact. Maybe you can try that.
|
Did you possibly not reconnect a ground in your headlight assemblies? With electronics, no ground can cause weird failures that dont make sense.....like this one.
|
Sounds like a fuse. My car is filled with v led lights and it still works.
|
Did any of you guys replace the fog light with LEDS? I just wanna do it for cosmetic purposes and dont intend to drive with them on. But I ordered the H1 from VLED and it doesnt fit through the opening into the headlight assembly. What did you guys do?
|
I've concluded that it's my BCM, do you guys know where it is?
|
Next to your left foot when you are driving, to the left of the dead pedal
|
I've replaced most interior lights, side marker, clearance bulbs and license plates with VLED's without a problem. These tips should help.
Return everything to stock bulbs. Replace with VLED bulbs 1 at a time. Test each bulb before you reassemble components. A VLED bulb will not work if the polarity is reversed. Make sure that the bulb's lead are aligned correctly in the socket. Disconnect then reconnect the neg battery terminal if things act weird. |
Maybe your car need H4 bulbs for the fogs. The owner's manual for early model G's say H1 for fogs but they are in fact H4.

Fog Light LEDs = DISASTER. I did this before and it didnt work at all, as a matter of fact it blew the fuses behind the battery.

EDIT: Sorry to the OP for thread jacking |
Alright guys I've almost fixed everything. Turns out there is a fuse BEHIND the battery which I had to remove to get to (the battery is pretty heavy) there was ONE fuse blown out which was the "tail lamp" fuse. This fixed a few problems. However I still have a few problems they are the following.
My dome light, and sun-visor lights don't work. My signals also don't work but they stay on all the time and won't flash when I signal. Also my tail lamps are a lot dimmer I believe but it's really sunny out today so I couldn't really tell. Help me guys. I didn't replace the foglights/DRL. |
