Eyebrow LED problem...
Well I successfully replaced 3 of the 4 LEDs that are required to match the eyebrows to my HIDs. However, the closest LED to the grill on the passenger side won't turn on. I have checked to see if there is power coming to the leads and there is, BUT if I plug in any of the old bulbs that I know are working it still does not turn on so the LED (I'm assuming) is fine. I have tried flipping the leads etc... All I could think of now is that when I pulled the lead out I accidentally damaged the wires since they are so freaking short. This will be a PITA to fix but before I dive into that, I want to make sure I'm not missing something else such as possibly burning a fuse. I know this is highly unlikely since the other LEDs work like a charm. Any suggestions??
Thanks!
Thanks!

If you plug in the LED in the wrong polarity too long, car computer will register it as a burned out bulb and cut power to the socket (as there's no need to shoot power to a dead bulb). This is the same for all sockets with the feedback loop. By starting the car up a couple times with the light plugged in correctly, your car will reset and check to see if a bulb has been replaced and feed power back in. This might be what happened to you.
