I think mine might be here but I won't get them until Saturday morning cos the postie took em back to the Post Office cos he couldn't get them through the letter box.

However I am waitin on a load of stuff for the CBR so it could be some of that stuff.

Any ideas why?

Can't see any reason for this. Not like with indicator relays. Have you tried the orig. bulbs again? Perhaps you shorted/blew a fuse when changing them?

Yea, also check to make sure the two lumps of solder on the bulb make contact with the bit they plug into. With the leds being slightly heaver than standard bulbs they sometimes can tilt down on their own and disconnect themselves.
