Yes. They may have reversed the polarity in the light bulb socket on the 2013's

 

Finally found some LED's that will work on the 2013

 

Where did you get them from?

I've bought 3 sets and they still won't work.

 

On ebay. Search for seller sparkler_led_88

His 1156 LED bulbs are bipolar which means that they don't have specific polarity. Contact him first to make sure you get the right bulbs.

 

Thanks Kendogg!

I just got new DRL's from sparkler_led_88. Prompt service and a good price, can't beat that!

 

Good to hear. I agree too. He had excellent customer service and great communication. My bulbs are still going strong too

 

Hummm, I think I might have to try a set of these and see how they go with CB.

 

Thanks for the info and the reverse polarity on the bulb socket.

I ordered a set from sparkler_led_88

I tossed them in and they worked for about 1 day then they blew out and blew my drl fuse.

They sent me another pair and I put them in at work today. Made the 1hr drive home and one of the new bulbs blew and popped my fuse again.

I'm going to send all 4 back and maybe the 3rd set will be the charm


In the mean time I ended up buying a set of the Silverstar bulbs from autozone. They are pretty white and much brighter than the LED's.

 

My 10A fuse keeps blowing with these new LED lights....

 

Can one or more of you folks confirm whether Oracle Lighting 1156 (20 light) LED lamps are plug and play or not?

I saw in some other theads on this site that these were confirmed to be good lights, but now reading about LEDs in general melting the socket, or needing resistors, blowing fuses, etc. So sort of wondering what I am getting into. I don't want to replace the back of my light housing because of melted plastic. I have no multimeter to test the draw, and not sure how to do it, if I had the meter.

How are the bulbs doing now?

i just ordered a set from the ebayer you mentioned. He specifically posts them as EVO X DRL bulbs now for certain years.

Just curious on how yours are holding up? No heat or fuse issues?

 

I was having problems with my led drl. One would only work when it was out of the housing and I was testing it. Found out the blue wire was damaged. I had to pull it apart and re strip the wire

 

Wow that will for sure cause an issue

 

Jesus Guys!
A few years old...but still.
2012 GSR. Local cops don't like me driving with 1 DRL burning. Silverstars only last a little while.
Just got Sylvania ZEVO's. Passenger side worked right away. Drivers...not so good.
Put an old bulb in the socket. It worked.
Checked the new LED with 12 volts. +12 on the tip, - on the barrel. It worked.

Get the multimeter, DRL's on. Meter set to DC volts. + probe on the center pin of the socket, - probe on the outer contact. Meter shows -13.8 volts. Easy stuff. The polarity of the wiring is reversed.

Pull the damn DRL harness, light socket, weather cap out of the car.
Inside of the connector, pull the blue retainer out. Unclip the blue and black wire.
Swap them in the connector. Put it back together. Reconnect the harness to the car.
LED works. Center of the LED HAS to get +12 volts DC.
Deal?

Incandescent lamps have NO polarity. 1156 bulbs, 194, etc., DO NOT care if they get + or - on either connector. LED's DO.
Deal? Use your multimeter. Learn how to use one.
