I have acquired four LED front sidelight bulbs.Put two of them in.Only the nearside one works.Both working ok with normal bulbs.Tested the other bulbs in the nearside holder.All work ok.
Any ideas?

Offside wires the wrong polarity somehow?
(assuming wired return)

Would the ordinary bulbs work.If it was the wrong polarity?

Key really is in the name - LED - Light emitting diode. Like all diodes, they only pass a signal/electricity one way.
