Ok I changed out tail/Brake lights and Turn Signals with SuperBright LEDs. Ok I had one issue when Installed LEDs in the front they did not work in the front they would not flash. The Rears would. NOTHING completely dead in the front. I had to put the stock bulbs back in. Anyone else have an issue with LEDs in the front on a Jonway YY250T?



I got mine from here.

1157 Reds and 1156 Amber this is great on the rear as the new Ambers you can see now in bright Daylight.

I bet your issue is that LED bulbs are positive/negative specific. Meaning your regular bulbs can get put in however you want and will allways light up. If LED bulbs are put in backwards (specifically on the blade type bases) they won't light. Hopefully this is your issue, just put them in the other way. The problem on the bayonet ones is that if they are wired "wrong" for the LED you are stuck with getting a new socket and soldering the wires on the oposite way from the OEM wiring. Luckily, the OEM bulbs will still work no mater what. I have modded LED's into everything from campers to cars and trucks and this comes up all the time. Superbrightleds is a great vendor and is who I got my LED's for my camper light mods from. A little pricey, but well worth it so I would doubt it is the bulbs. If this makes sense, cool, if not, and you need clarification, PM me and I will woalk you through it. It is not really as hard as it sounds.

Ah damn. I did not even think about trying to reverse the wires when I had it apart. That rears worked perfectly so just made the assumption that the wireing should be fine. DOH! Next time I have the front off I will give that a try. Thanks.Must have been the heat and by the time I was puting back together we had been in the garage messing around with lights, Aux plugs and charging issues for about 15 hours by then.

PS.. I do not think your comment sounded at all condesending. Simple things can be over looked way to easy. Thanks Todd
