Put new bulbs in lights work just fine. Get in car to start nothing no clicks nothing all lights on dash normal everything normal besides no start. So I disconnect battery unplug lights wait a few reconnect battery car starts rights up battery has 12v haven’t checked any fuses but I don’t think it would be a fuse. Anything helps thanks.

If you disconnected the battery while you were making the switch, you probably didn’t secure the terminal or it’s corroded.

Loose cables can do that.

Everything was tight and wasn’t corroded

Retry. There’s not many things linked to a no start and LED bulbs. Just check the polarity of the new bulbs.

If it continues then you probably have a starter that’s about to die or the battery is about to die. Either or.

The lights are possibly backwards. Try changing the polarity and then start it again.

It's a sign from god to not be an asshole and blind everyone else. Put your standard bulbs back in, you can see just fine. If you cannot then you shouldn't be driving at night anyway.

Yessss! So tired of these aholes and their LEDs blinding me EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. Not in favor of more givernment regulations but somethings gotta be done. I wonder how many accidents have been caused from this because i literally cant see anything they blind me and the wife its ridiculous

Just like the auto high beams. Blinding little bastards those things are.

Just got new battery same problem lights are unplugged and still no start

Just a thought- are these cars on a canbus system? LED's generally have less resistance which could possibly lead to something not communicating with the rest of the group which as far as I understand would give you electrical issues.

This car doesn’t have canbus headlights. Old school basic relayed power direct from battery.

You can get the car to start with the old bulbs? It’s hard to believe because I’ve done LED swaps on my corolla many times without issue back then.

Unless you are possibly talking about another car?

Now you should check your starter. Get something to hit the starter a couple times. Then get back in and try to start the car.

Does the car make a noise when you try to start? Clicking noise? Or complete silence. Does most of the dash lights turn off while it tries to crank?

You probably grounded something in the headlight circuit and need to find the short.

Rotten cable probably

If you install them properly they shouldn't blind oncoming traffic. Instructions for LED bulbs always tell you to install them with the LED chips facing the 9 and 3 o'clock position. The problem begins when people install them improperly at the 12 and 6 o'clock position and the resulting beam acts like a high beam

Not how bulbs or optics work man. You can't just shove a light source with 2x, 3x, 4x the output in a housing and expect glare to still be the same as the original light source was. Not even getting into how a filament is not the same as a point source emitter aka LED.

Not sure you know how LEDs work. LEDs are not bulbs even though we call them bulbs. LEDs emit straight ahead only, they do not radiate like a filament bulb where the light goes in every direction. LEDs are directional, if you point em in the right direction, you won't have an issue, glare even. I've got morimoto LEDs on my car and haven't had an issue with glare or the light being a bother at all. Another factor is headlight aiming, yes, aiming. A lot of people don't have their headlights aimed properly and even running regular incandescent bulbs aimed improperly will blind people in front of you. Like you said, only reason LEDs get a lot of crap is because they're 2x, 3x, 4x times brighter so it's more noticable/annoying. With LEDs, direction and aiming is VERY VERY important.
Only people my LEDs bother are ricers with cars slammed to the ground.

When I owned my corolla, I had hid initially. Until it burned out. Upgraded to a set of 9006 Hikari LED. They were fine. The only issue was, light emitted was the same frequency as the street light.

False information here.

Certain types of bulbs are made to work specifically with different types of reflector housings. There is no aftermarket LED light bulb that is USDOT approved. The DOT only approved aftermarket LED bulbs for foglights but truck bros use them in a regular reflector housing which blinds oncoming traffic because the reflector spreads the beam pattern all over the place.
