HELP!! (don't buy from v-led)

[fullvietFX]

So I bought a bunch of LEDs from V-LEDs and it ****ed up all of my lights. I'll start by saying which lights I replaced:

Low beam headlampParking lightSidemarkerTurn signal (dual filament)

I turned off the car and removed the entire headlight assembly from the car and replaced all the bulbs. After I put the headlight back in and fired up the car everything stopped working except for my low-beams. I'll list what doesn't work now:

Parking lightSidemarkerTurn signalsRear tail lights (the ones that stay on all the time, when I apply the brakes it still works.)Dome lightsDash lights (They stay on 100% I can't dim them)My entire console doesn't light up.On my navigation the fuel economy thing doesn't work anymore, it can't tell how much gas I'm using.

I checked all the fuses and they are okay. I also replaced all the bulbs with the stock bulbs and everything still doesn't work. What can be the problem? Somebody please help me!

Ya, I don't know what you did but I've replaced several lights on my car from V-LEDs and everything works great.

Hey everyone. After buying some cheap leds on ebay that remain dimly lit even when they should be off i saw a thread n bought some vleds. They r here now and i had a chance to try em. They turn off when the car is armed but when i turn the engine on they illuminate slightly when they should be off. Vled fail save ur money. Hope this helps someone learn from my mistakes. Just thought id add to this guys thread.

I purchased a pair of LEDs from V-LED back in '08 without any issues.

Could be a short circuit of some sort do to an overload from using the incorrect LED amperage, or due to you botching up the job somehow. It would be helpful to know exactly what bulb type you replaced everything with.

I had a great few V-Led purchases. I've been referring people over there for a few years now. I have had 2 leds fail and they replaced them with no issue . All the markers in my car, my J, and the mrs' rsx have been replaced with V-leds a while back.

If they are installed correctly (polarity matters) and one fails the other lights will work, like christmas lights. When I had burnouts it was gradual and one of them only half the leds faded.

I think OP might have burned out a main fuse in the IPDM. The headlights are both on dedicated circuits. The most likely cause for this is not bad bulbs unless they were directly shorted in some way. For a first time DIYer I would expect to see a few blown fuses.
