Default LED not working.

Got back from a ride this morning and noticed that the rear fender light was not working. Little Google action and figure out that I need a 194 bulb. Off to the local auto parts place and I see they have 194 LED bulbs. Grab a pack of 2, figure I will swap out the front as well. Once home I replace the bulb and nothing. Swap the know good bulb from the front in and it works. Is there something I am missing here?

Blown fuse, frayed wire. That would be my guess.

I don't think so. It works with an incandescent bulb. Just not the LED.

LED's are polarity sensitive. Turn it around, and it will probably work fine...
