I have replaced almost all the incancescnet bulbs on my 2005 Yukon Denali with LED's from superbrightleds.com. I put cool white replacement 3157's in the DRL spot, but they won't come on. Opinions?

At first I thought I just had the bulbs in backwards (LED's matter), but they still won't light. I can literally take the LED out, put an incandescent in and the old style lights up. Opinions?

Not sure about nbs but in my nnbs in order for drl to come on, has to be in drive for drl to come on. If I was to put the ebrake on, drl would also cancel

As @sumo said check them in drive and if nothing, then may be the plugs, when i replaced mine the plugs were stiff from being so hot over the years and almost kinda melted, with the regular bulb in it would work but it was not making a good connection on the LEDs.

A lot of led bulbs also specify not for use in DRL applications. Have you bench tested the bulbs to verify the light at all

with LED, polarity also matters. May be as simple as taking out the bulbs, flipping them and putting back in.
