Help with front LEDs

Just installed a set of beautiful LEDs that I bought from Shane at Delreycustoms. I bought the front and the rear tailights. So far I have only installed the front lights. They went in very quickly and are a perfect fit. My only problem is that the center LED does not come on. The lower fog light works and the amber signal works correctly. What am I doing wrong? I did order the true DRL module, but I will install that at a later time. But as for now, it should still turn on with the switch. Please help. My PCM has "individual memory" feature which does have a factory DRL setting.

This will sound simple and dumb but it is.

Take the small connector for the center LED out and turn it around and stick it back in. I made this mistake as well and thought for a second that mine were defective but in reality its just a "one way" plug!

I did that already. Spoke to Shane and made sure to match up black with the brown wire. I need to check the fuse panel next.

Anyone have any similar issues that may be able to help me figure this out.

Did the lights work before the installation? (the stocks) ... It is strange that neither side works. If it were one side then I would say something is wrong but for both sides not to work... hmm. I take it you have already checked your individual PCM settings?

I looked at my "individual settings" and toggled on and off the drl's. Seemed fine. May be a fuse. I am going to check the stock bulb later tonight.

I had a similar problem recently with mine and I found that the cause was a connection that disconnected. I had to get the lights out and reconnect it, and now all is good. Hope that helps
