Baja Design sent me a defective product. See, the wires are crossed over on one. They are the same product. Same part,

The switch is wired/powered. The connectors all show they are powered when I use a test light tool. However, when I plug in any of the lights, they don’t work. What could be causing this?

FUCK

are they one way polarity sensitive LED lights?....... lights that need to have a specific side powered, and a specific one grounded?.......

are you certain that you are powering/grounding the correct sides?

This is my first guess

If not the polarity of the bulbs (see Die-Trying’s reply), that is strange. You are seeing 12v at the plug nearest the bulb?

I got the wires right.  Still a long way to go

Good luck! I found actually routing the wiring was the hardest part with my setup!

Oiy that’s a bummer, good on you for spo tting it. Check the boxes, both sets of my lights came with extra connection parts to change or add those clips. You could swap them yourself pretty easy- no soldering required.

A multim eter is a super cheap and really helpful tool for this kind of stuff.

Yep... polarity matters with LED bulbs.  When I installed LED bulbs on my Aerio and other past cars, if it doesn’t come on the first time I stick it in, it always comes on by sticking it in the other way around.
