Default LED lights will not finish lighting up????

Bought some Kawell LED work lights from Amazon for the 982 cab and they are frustrating me!! I mounted them on the cab roof and grounded them to cab, making sure the paint was removed and black wire was tight and wrapped around the bolt through cab. Red wire was then hooked up to switched wore from battery direct, did not go through the key switch. Read led lights still work on same circuit that the front ones I am trying to get lit up. I switch on the switch and the read red LED's come on but front white ones will very quickly start to light then they go almost out. Just the little dot in the centre will glow slightly. But the switch is still on and in-line fuse is not burnt out? The red tail light that I installed, also LED never go out this whole time. What am I missing? Is there a resistor or something that needs to be added to the set up? I am at a loss right now. The lights look great and are fairly well built by the looks of it?? Happy about that now if I can just get them to light up fully!!
