Coin door light wiring help

So I am trying to wire up some 12v coin door lights to the power supply of my 60-in-1 nd I am having a little trouble. I bought this harness from the link below rather than make my own and connected it to the power supply, but for some reason the bulbs won't light. I tried connecting various connection combinations of the power and ground and got one bulb to light, so I know it's receiving power, but I can't seem to get both to light. The harness has 14 connectors...are there are particular ones I should be connecting to the bulbs? I didnt think it mattered if all 14 are not used, but what do i know. Sorry if this is a noobish question and any help is greatly appreciated.

I cant get your link to open.
Are the lights LEDs? If so, try switching the wires on them (polarity matters with an LED).

Fixed link. Yes, they are LEDs. I'll try switch around the wires and see if that works.

Yep, just had to switch the 12v and ground connectors. Thanks, otherwise I'd still be staring at wires dumbfounded.
