    Try swapping the wires over. Unlike bulbs that will work either way around when you plug them into the socket, LEDs are polarity specific. You need to wire +ve to +ve and -ve to -ve.

    Also, don't be surprised if you get the bulb failure light up as Vectras don't like LEDs.

    Sorry, didn't fully read your post properly earlier. They should be plug & play. The body of the fog LED is -ve, and the flying lead the +ve. Likewise the connections in the foglight assembly should be the same.

    Have you tried them on a 12 volt battery to see if they actually work?
