Ok so I bought an interior light kit to replace my dome light, map lights, glove box light and license plate lights from EBay. I got the dome light changed without any issues but I can't seem to get both map lights working. It seems that only 1 wants to work and each time I put the second one in it does not work by the first one works.

I am not even positive if I get some faulty bulbs because with the kit I got four bulbs with the spherical metal ends and two are with the plastic cover on one side which I presume is for license plate lights.

Anyone can help me please?

Oh and it's a 2010 Mazda 3 sedan.

make sure you have them in the right way... LEDs require the correct polarity (+ / -) for them to work right!
try one bulb in at a time first to make sure they work in a particular direction

To elaborate on what TheMan is trying to say. Take the LEDs light that doesn't work and rotate the bulb so the connections are different than originally. This should fix your problem.

They work! Don't know why I didn't try that but thank you!
