smithyithy Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Changed my front sidelights and rear number plate lights for some SMD / LED's, all worked fine but the one number plate light won't work at all now, I've swapped the SMD's all around and it's still only the 1 light that's not coming on.. Do the 2 lights have separate fuses or something? Any ideas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Have you checked the contact points on the bulb? SMDs are prone to some of the contact points not touching where they need to be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smithyithy Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share Posted December 14, 2013 Nope, but I'll have a look! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smithyithy Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share Posted December 14, 2013 Alright, I tried all the combinations of bulbs and positions, then swapped the actual bulb holders round, and it turns out that's where the fault is.. Untitled by Smithyithy, on Flickr See the kinda marks where it looks like it's burnt out? So I need a new one of these. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Could try sanding bak the contacts on the holder Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Adam-Gt- Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 My indicator done this , turned out the earth strip had gone flat and wasn't making contact so I got a pin and made it stick out so would make contact worked a treat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
