After at least an hour and a half of struggling and sweating and cursing and wearing the tips of my finger off, I finally got that freaken dome cover off on my 2005 STR. Put the LEDs in and now I cant get them to light up, back ones work fine, but the front ones refuse to work. I was hoping someone could shine some light on my predicament.

Any help is truly appreciated, as of now im driving around with no dome and im definitely not putting that thing back on till i see those LEDs light up.
Anyone hook up their S type with LEDs and got that dome to light up???

 

might sound daft but have you tried them the other way round, an led will only allow current to flow one way, the same as all diodes.

 

also this is daft you will kick yourself. no bulb will light up until you shove the dome back into position, take a look and you will see that there are connectors on there,

 

Yes i did turn them around, im doing every light inside the car so ive had to turn a few around already.

Ahhh, yes i had a suspicion that the dome would have to get back into place to get them to light up, i did notice those connectors. Just wanted to make sure that was the reason before pushing that thing back in place. The dome is such a pain in the a$$ to take out and an even bigger pain to put back in. Thanks for the tip!

 

put a smear of grease or vaseline on the 6 side clips, makes it easier next time

 

Great idea!
