Default 2 of 3 trunklights not working....

Hi there.

Changed all of the trunk lightbulbs for Led's today and noticed before the change that only the one at the bottom was working. Changed all 3 but the 2 that sits right under the rear window wont work..

Are all 3 supposed to light up all the time or do the 2 on the top have a secret switch somewhere?

(Next step will be to measure the voltage)

All of them light up at the same time....

Might be a stupid observation but with Led's they only work one way around i.e take them out and turn them around.....might resolve the problem without having to start pulling out wiring etc.
