Led reverse lights
So I just installed new led reverse light bulbs and now my left side is working and my right side isn’t working at all. Both sides were working fine when it was halogen bulbs so what could be my problem?

Did you try putting the halogen bulb back into the right side? If so, did it work?
Did you try the right side LED into the left side to see if it worked?
FYI...Diode lights need the correct polarity. If reversed, they won't work.

Check the polarity of the bulb, basically unplug rotate 180 degrees and reinstall. Other than that, assuming the standard incandescent bulb still works, you may have a defective from new unit. Good Luck, Russ

Glad you figured it out. FYI, not all LED bulbs are polarity specific, but some are as you’ve figured out.
