no noticable way to check. the only way to find the + and - side would be to use a multimeter. But then you would have to get them the right way around on the instument cluster side of things (postive on cluster to postive on LED, negitive on cluster to negative on LED).... I suggest you pull ALL of the LED's out, double check all your fuses and start putting them back in ONE BY ONE, making sure they are the right way around, thus lighting up. Slow method but by far the best method.

 Sometimes just turning those ones around 180 degrees does the trick too.Hope that helps ! hey dave, that was only coz we were trying to turn the globes the wrong way... can only twist htem in one way!!! so like when we put them in.. it bent em up, thats why it was fiddly

this sounds a bit weird, cause i did the blue dash mod using the Narva Globes (same part no, 47902) and i never had any probs. Mates have done the same thing and it worked fine. Though this is a bit worryin, if its blowin smoke...

look at the fordmods doco, it tells you how to tell what side of the LED is +ve and -ve... the negatives all have to point in different directions.. its all in the doco, same applies for the NARVA globes.
i drew a pic up when i installed mine
