license plate lighting?

[Cspaintballer]

Sadly my talon was rear ended last week after just finishing a complete paint job . luckly insurance paided for it all. Well the lights for the license plate were broken, went to advanced today to pick myself up some new lights. plugged them in and cant get the darn things to light up! They are the right size.

Any ideas?

OHM out your power and ground to make sure none of the wires were snapped in the wreck

Ya I was just gonna suggest making sure the wires were not snapped in the rear end collision..SO +1 on that one..

okay so i checked the wiring its all good.

i got kinda mad and cut the wires and did a red neck test, i took the wires(including bulbs in the unit) and hooked the wires into my fuse box. i took out the fuse for the cabin lighting and slid the wires in. The cabin lighting came on like it should but the bulb showed no signs of life..

thoughts?

You could have got a bad set of bulbs, but check the connectors to make sure..

Use a multimeter to test for power to the connectors, if no power theres either a break in the line or a popped fuse...
