Default 2001 Corvette C5

I need Help about my Corvette C5 2001. I'm changing all my lights to LED's but First I need to go back a couple of weeks when basically I put my car in storage but when I got it out the battery was down so we boosted it but when i did my light under the hood and my cargo light is not working. Today I was putting my leds in the taillights. Brake lights. But when I did my car acted like it didn't want to start. It finally did so i changed to the original lights. What could be causing this

Did you buy these led from a reputable source like Vettelight or from Amazon Chinese POS?

Did you put your battery on a tender or trickle charger when you put it in storage? Have you checked the battery voltage now? How old is your battery?

When one has a frog alternator in one's car, one must be cautious using any non frog juice generator.... Go back to stock, Jock.
