I have put a led side light to the front H/lamp, but it will not come on (bulbs are ok & tested) i take it they run of a relay due to the parking relay & not drawing enough power or something along those lines, the back lights are fine as they draw more power than the front.
Anyone else had this problem & how did you do it?

Nothing to do with the amount of power they draw or relays.

Got a multi meter ?

Test the feed wire for 12 volts.

Then test the continuity of the earth from the side light.

One of them must be wrong or it would light (as you have tested the LED bulbs)

p.s. When you test the bulbs on a 12 volt source it is important to get your +ve and -ve the right way around when dealing with LED bulbs. Getting it wrong can instantly damage some makes. (others have protection built in)

Orientation! LED's can only be fitted one way......

Have tested + - again all ok, i know leds work 1 way & have turned them round etc, but still no joy . Put normal bulb back in works ok, retested leds & they are fine.
