Default LED interior install... rear don't work.

I just installed all LEDs in the interior spots, and the two map lights in the rear don't work. I swapped polarity as well as swaped lamps, and the same two sockets don't work. All the lamps work, just not in these sockets, but they work fine with the incandescent bulbs. I thought maybe the voltage was too low, but it checked 12v. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be the problem? Thanks.

Ok, well I pulled the entire map light piece and tested it against the battery and all worked. I hooked it back up except the ground and tested against a bare ground on the car and still nothing. So this makes me think that the voltage is too low for some reason.

Damn I need a break... I need a beer. BEER RUN!!!

Did you try switching the bulb around. They are polarity sensitive.

I managed to get it working with LED bulb, just used another bulb and it worked. This is a finnish site that sells complete set of leds for interior lights.
