Led bulbs are polarised, you need to swap the positive and negative feeds if possible

You should just be able to put the bulb in the other way round and it should work. If not then it might be a duff bulb.

I'm not sure on the connect. The mk6 was a pain and wasn't as simple as swapping the type of bulb around that I'd bought. You can test the bulb by running two wires off the existing plugs and just swap the live and earth round. Just don't short them out, it'll blow your fuse.
