Have fitted one set but no light. I'm thinking it's my wiring so am I right in thinking that black connects to red and red to black rather than black to black and red to red. Plan on finishing tomorrow. Thanks.

Usually red is +12v and black is ground, so I'd be surprised if you'd connect black to red and red to black, but I could be wrong!  Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

normally led"s are polarity sensitive , if you connect them wrong they wont work , check and see a simple wire switch over should sort it but do check first 1990 3.5 v8 defender

as said they are polarity sensitive so if the were working befor fitting into the head light then you must have the wires mixed up,the good thind is you wont do any damage..i think you will find in the head light it had red and black wires for the side lights and red was 12v V8 facelift Range Rover Autobiography 22" wheels.

@ googsy you must have cooked your headlights about 4 times now, what's your secret  .

I ain't cooking em again Im getting sick of the inside of them and food cooked in oven tastes of Range Rover . My recipe is 8 mins at 130 works a treat everytime . No pictures yet I have rewired and tested back to connection that I have made to sidelights all works except side light connection. I have red to red and black to black and it don't work. So it's the last connection to sidelights that's dodgy. Good thing is I can easily work on that connection without opening light again I will go it it tomorrow as have second one to do .... will post pics after that Present :2008 TDV8 HSE
