    Not my subject, mate but I thought 501's were for vehicles with sophisticated CAN-bus control systems that ditributes data and power depending on the requirement. I would suppose without that, you'd need an inline resistor.

    But I am only spitballing and I'm no techie.

    Is it the right way round? LEDs won't work if the polarity is wrong.
