Well I swapped the rear of my car to leds; side markers, license plate, blinkers+brakes, I also got the flasher unit for the turn signals, and they all work. The only one I'm having problems with is the bottom right light, it'll light when its activated by the parking lights, but not hazards/brake. I tried the other 3 bulbs in the socket, but I can't get it light. Anyone know why that may be? The light bulb that was in it before worked fine. Will I need a load resistor or something for this last one?

Try taking it out and turning the bulb. Sometimes the contacts don't hit properly.



When I installed my license plate bulbs, they would illuminate one way but not the other.



wait.... '02 accent, do you have 1156 or 1157 bulbs? Were the factory bulbs you removed dual filament or single filament?

They can only go in one way, they have nubs on the side that are different heights, and they're 1157.

It is probly a bad connection. Load resistors only compensate for the voltage drop. The bulb replacement should work fine.

Got it to work, oxidized/corrosion on the contact tips of the socket, sanded it down and works fine.
