Any ideas? maybe single or dual filament?

Need more details, but make sure the wire lead ends on the LED bulbs are contacting the proper polarity tabs in the plug ins.

Yup....

I bought a set before and the wire leads were wrong. Just bent them around to match the stock bulbs and they worked just fine.

My first though too. LEDs only work one direction(since they're diodes). You may have to swap the wires in the plug if the bulb only plugs in one way?

Well the bulbs were blowing my 10A fuse but when I hooked them up to a 9 volt battery, they worked fine. Maybe something wrong with the polarity or maybe they are convention?

The set I got blew the 10A fuse also. Switched to a 20A fuse and works like a charm.

You have an issue then. LEDs pull less amperage. Like next to none.

I had the same issue, just flip them around. So if you put them in watch close for a spark or wires inside to start to glow or if it doesnt come on then turn the bulb around and plug it in. Worked for me with 3 diff sets. (Got better and better bulbs thats y i had 3 sets) hope it helped.
