-BraXta- · 22-09-2004, 09:35 PM

Ahoy peoples..

i am in need of further assistance of some sort =D

I bought some Super white LED parker lights... right... now the problem is ..

I plug it up and they dont work..
then i took em out... then put normal globe... and it worked..

So i took em back to the shop and they tested it on a battery at their shop with leads and the LED parker lights work....

So im in a fuddle... thats right a fuddle !! =P

Anyone know whats goin on there... i thought bout filing the contact point to rough it up and get more cleaner connection cause i found like a rubbery **** on it...

Can't help you at all sorry, but I wanted to be the first to say how true and righteous your avatar is! That's deep man.

Put them in again. If they still don't work....turn them around.

LED's have a +ve and a -ve side for them to work. So, you just have to put the globe in the right way round for em to light up.

www.howstuffworks.com give you an excellent discription on how they acutally "light" up.....if your interested. :wink:

My previous car was a 95 honda civic VTi and that car was so much better than my astina.Parents bought it brand new and gave it to me after a few years. It had 55000kms when i sold it...an absolute beauty! Had to sell it to pay for uni

Love the mazda man screwing up the honda though :lol:

Hello and welcome.

An LED by design is a diode (guess what the D in leD stands for) and only passes electricity one way, turn it around and it will block electricity.
If you don't want to **** with your electrics then take 'em back and show that they don't work in your car, in your car is the key. Make a fuss and stick to your guns, raise your voice in a packed shop repeating I don't understand, you saw them not work in my car. They must be ****ed.

If you want to get them working then chop the wires that feed the lamp and swap 'em over. That should get them working.

hehe, actually I think the Honda Accord Euro is quite choice. But they don't have a hot hatch these days...
The true oponent and arch rival to the Astina/SP20 is the N15 SSS Pulsar I reckon, they are damn fast once they get some 4000-4500rpm under their belt!
But no other manufacturer seems to be able to match the ball tearing torque of the 1.8 and 2.0 323s IMO. None of this 4000+ powerband business thank you.
