LED interior bulbs

I thought I would replace some of the interior lights with led.back doors fine, front foot wells fine, boot light fine. I have an issue with the front door lights led will not work any idea what it could be ? Do I need error free bulbs. Oh and another issue I popped one of the rear reading lights out power feed cable shot back into the roof lining I can get hold of it but it does not seem long enough.u Shocked

I had to fit some resistors in the end to make the front puddle lights work all the others worked ok. The only problem I have now is the two rear reading lights when I removed the light, the wire is too short and flew back into the roof lining with the connector.. They are about an inch too short. Any ideas apart from getting behind the roof lining?

Success Thumbs Up both mine were glued to the headlining and it needed a mighty tug to free them thought I was going to end up with two wires poking out of the connector will have no problems in the future. Did you have any problems with the front puddle lights ? Nearly all lights replaced just the sun visors to go and glove box.

Can you please clarify on the resistors used? I just replaced all the lights in my 2011 RRS supercharged and the front lower door puddle lights will only turn on when the car is on. When unlocking via the remote and opening the front doors, the lights won't come one. The LED's are canbus error free. 2011 RRS Supercharged, Santorini Black on Brown/Tan, pretty perfect as is
2008 RRS HSE Lux (sold), Alaska white on Ivory/Ebony, Supercharged front and side grill's, 20" genuine stormer wheels, Supercharged front Brembo brake retrofit, Supercharged exhaust tips retrofit, 2010+ tail lights retrofit, Color coded mirror caps, Nappa leather steering wheel retrofit.

Did you ever resolve the front door puddle light problem. Just fitting LED lights to mine and I have exactly the same problem, all others work ok but front puddle lights don't.
