Hey guys

I cant find anwser.

I have fited two blue leds to my interior, like foot lights.

the set up is i have a cable from the cigerette lighter to an on/off switch and then a cable that joins to the two LEDS (power cable), each LED has its own ground cable joinin to the car.

when i turn them on one is very very very dull and the other is bright as ne thing...

the only thing different is that the dull led has a larger earth cable than the other??

i have used a multimeter and the voltage and resistance to both are the same.

im soo confused?? polarity is right what else could be wrong?

Thanks in advance

EDIT: sorry i think i have posted this in the wrong section, can someone move it Thanks

Faulty LED perhaps?

earths shouldnt make a difference...tried swapping wires around or if they are in a holder,turn the bulb around in the holder....
