Reverse Lights wont come on

Since my blue big bulbs went out in my max, i switched to some LED blue ones and i thought they didnt come on because of poor light output. but they did light up...looked nice by the way but output sucked. anyway I have unused (new) LED's different from the ones i had just switched out tonight, and when i put in reverse, they didnt light up, neither one of them. Any clue as to why they're not lighting up? they do work by the way because i tried them

sts = short throw shifter. then i'm not sure what the problem is. maybe you have the wrong bulb size. I put some Polarg bulbs in there and they work fine whenever they come on. check http://www.moodym.com/maxima/tech/maxbulbchart.html and make sure you got the right bulb in there.

with led bulbs, it matters which way you put the bulb in, try rotating the bulbs and putting them back in. Hope that works.
