There's nothing wrong with the circuit you scribbled out.
Are you sure they're for a 12V supply? Are you sure they work? Connect them directly to a suitable supply to check.
Being diodes, (the 'D' of LED), they only work when connected one way round, if the positive/negative connections are reversed they will not light.
