Help please
I bought a badlands illuminator tail-turn-brake for my 06 Fxdwgi. Works fine with my stock 1156 bulbs, but weren't bright enough for me. I got me some sylvania 1156 led bulbs today (want to get Radiantz soon) but I installed them and my left side won't come on at all. I put back in my stock bulb and works fine. I put each led bulb on the right side and both work fine. Put the led on the left won't work and I'm having a hard time figuring it out.
any advice is much appreciated
thank you in advance

LEDs will only work if the polarity is correct. Normal bulbs aren't bothered, so will light up. It is likely the wiring for your left side is reversed, or the Badlands is wired in wrong way around, so check polarity.

Also...LEDs draw less power so the one side is good, but other needs load balancer. Either way, it's best to upgrade all in one swoop. I always go w/Custom Dynamics...their products work well & have lifetime warranty.
