HELP PLEASE!!!- AAC PLASMA BULBS - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

DMDTexAg06 · 08-02-2011, 08:22 PM

So I just got the AAC plasma bulbs in the mail and decide to put them in. I get the first one in and decide to test it to see the difference between it and the old bulb. Neither one comes on......So I put the old one back in thinking maybe it's a defective product or something.....neither one of the old bulbs come on. So now my damn DRL's don't work. Anyone got any ideas here?

That's what I'm thinking. Question is, which one is it?

The Stig · 08-02-2011, 10:29 PM

owner's manual will tell you. More than likely it is a blown fuse.

Camarowguy · 08-02-2011, 10:35 PM

Did you have the car in gear?

they won't come on unless in gear.......

DMDTexAg06 · 08-02-2011, 10:43 PM

Yes the car was in gear and I checked the fuse....not blown.

The Stig · 08-02-2011, 10:50 PM

was the car on? DRLs sometimes can be picky about turning on or not. Also, could you have possibly not pushed the bulb all the way into the socket?

brengeek · 08-02-2011, 10:54 PM

Parking brake on? We were testing our halos and forgot that the parking brake (e-brake) turns off the driving lights.

DMDTexAg06 · 08-02-2011, 10:58 PM

Drove it around the block, still not coming on. And even if I didnt push one side in all the way, the other one should still work.

The Stig · 08-02-2011, 10:59 PM

is it still light enough out for the DRLs to turn on? I know it's a stupid question but it could be the answer.

DMDTexAg06 · 08-02-2011, 11:32 PM

Yeah it was still sunny out.

Camarowguy · 08-03-2011, 12:11 PM

Did you make sure the polarity was correct? LEDs only light up when the polarity is correct. I don't remember if the plug can be swapped the other way. It's been a while since I did mine....so I'm just throwing that out there

I got mine in yesterday also and installed them they worked fine. It sounds like you pulled a wire loose or blew a fuse to me.
