Installed TricLED 9005 bulbs in a pre-2019 RT Ltd (2017 Australian model) - LED lights don't work! Any ideas?

[askitee]

I bit the bullet and decided to give the Tricled 9005 bulbs a go in my '17 RT Ltd. Having a cupboard with a half dozen other brand LED's that were either no better or were worse, I thought it was time.

A few questions:

1. How do I stop the flange of the LED bulb from rotating on the bulb body so that I can lock it into place?
2. How do I secure the Driver inside the plastic housing?
3. Does the Frunk have to come off to fit them?

Everything I see so far is for the US models.

H.E.L.P.

Ok, I found that the flanges can come off the model bulb I have. Once I understood how they were mounted together I re-assembled both bulbs.

I ended up removing the frunk entirely which enabled better access, and the opportunity to create new wiring looms for my Baja Design S2 Pro's up front.

After sorting out the bulbs I have re-assembled the bike and find the Tricled 9005's don't work. As a test I refitted one of the Halogen 9005 bulbs and it works - return the Tricled and it doesn't play ball.

Is there a reset or something to tell the Canbus I've switched to LED's? I recall with my wifes' car that, after fitting LED's the canbus didnt like them and I had to start the vehicle twice with halogens installed to reset the computer. Is there a some sort of process I have to follow?

Some Led bulbs are polarity sensitive, if possible try switching it in the other way in the socket.

I didn't think of that. Thanks

So did switching the bulb work?

Haven't had a chance yet, back at work for now
