      A little more detail would help, no more suggestions will be offered until we see those details.

      Where are you connecting those two wires?

      Are they the ONLY two wires?

      Are you grounding the housing and touching those two wires to the battery positive?
      And finally, (this will matter when you ask your next question) ... WHAT BIKE ARE YOU WORKING ON???

        Give him rank and serial number and nothing else



        Sorry sometimes stuff is too bobvious.

        Since you're using standard incandescent bulbs, the center conductors are normally hot and the outside is of the socket is ground. Since you can power with the two wires in either direction I assume it is single filament bulb.
        Make the center conductor your hot.
