What happens if you connect the working left side to the non-working side?

No luck, they will not light up

Try reversing the ground and hot leads...LEDs are directional, if the connections are reversed it won't light up. Unit's wires are sealed so not sure how to reverse? Tried some Sylvania LED replacement bulb but oddly , they lit up only when metal reflecter shroud touched the metal outer ring, but then they only flickered?? Is there are ground proble, but again, stock bulbs work fine??
