Sorry if this topic has been exhausted to death, but couldn't find what I was looking for. I have a 2020 Lariat FX4 and attempted a swap with a set of Sylvania Zevo LED tag bulbs and they will not illuminate. I have seen XL and XLT swaps posted with no issue. Could the Lariat be the problem? Does anyone know of a bulb that is plug n play without a load equalizer in a Lariat? Thanks in advance.

Might be a dumb question but did you take them out and rotate them? Turn each bulb 180 degrees and reinstall. Maybe it's polarity?

My explanation isn't the best...

LED lights are polarity sensitive, only work one way. I went through this on an old jeep I swapped the dash lights out on. Always turn them on before putting everything back together.

Completely overlooked that. Had a 50/50 chance on each of the 2 bulbs and I may have struck out both times. I'll give it a shot. Thanks to you both.

Nope! Still working hard and living in poverty.
Ironically I got my LED bulbs and just swapped them, got it correct on the first try. Don’t worry I’m in the same boat as you when it comes to working and lack of pay :angry:

We spend our summers in an RV Park just south of Franklin, NC. We have a park model home there.

So, not only go thru pollen season here in Florida, but also go thru it in NC also!!!
