Meaning what? That they didn't light up and were delivered that way, or that they didn't work when you plugged them in? I used the ones from SuperbrightLED's and they worked just fine but had some fitment issues that I worked around. I posted the fixes in some thread somewhere on this forum.

they light up but only one stage wouldn't work for brake or turn signal and in both cases i had issues with the base either twisting or breaking off. i could tell they were delicate but just turning the bulbs to engage into the slot was the end of them. i tried installing in both directions and they still didn't function. if you have a link to what you have i would try those. i found thousands of the things but I'm not gouing to try them all.
