Did you get it from us? If so...look at the wiring and if you didn't get it from us try flipping the bulb around.

Its a round, 1 pin light.. Like the brake light. Not a wedge...
I ordered them from super lumination.com
It has about 15 leds per bulb.

you should use 6Ohm resistors for the Turn signals.

Try flipping it and it should work. I've had the same part.
