Default light help..

I bought these 12volt led lights from auto zone,When I got em home and tried connecting them to the batt they wouldnt turn on, I connected em to my dads car and they worked fine then I tapped em into my headlight wires and they worked, So I cant figure out why they wont work on the bike battery itself..Any one have any ideas or recomendations?

One thing about LED's is that the pos and neg wires will only work one way. On a regular filament bulb. putting the wires either way will light em up.

I had them attached to my dads car batt and they worked then I attached them to the bikes left headlight wires and they worked, So I think it has to do with the power..Does anyone know what I could do to fix the problem Im guessing theres another place to attach them other than the battery..I dont want to run them from my headlight wires either..

Did you try reversing the wires just to see? What are the LEDs for? You can just splice them into your tail light wires depending on where you're putting them.
