hello everyone i need some help with some LED lights, i currently have them installed and im having trouble, i originally could turn my lights on and when i went to use my signals the would do nothing. so i fixed that with 6ohm 50watt resistors, now i can turn my lights on and my signals work! only problem is that now i have no tail lights at all. I do have side markers and plate lights, just no tail lights. if i put a regular bulb in i have tail lights but not with LED, any help would be great! thanks in advance!
 
Thats really weird. I have led tail light bulbs in my car with no issues at all. My tail lights, tag lights, all four marker lights, and front parking lights are led. With no problems at all.
 
Damm???? Thats weired... :?:
 
Might need an electronic flasher, do a search here, should find more info. Can get one off ebay or @ napa pretty cheap
 
ok so i have narrowed it down now, so in the 1157 bulb socket it has the two prongs at the bottom, the tail lights, and the turn/stop light, took my test light and put it too the two prongs in the bottom and it lights up, so the turn signal is acting as a ground and shutting off the bulb, to confirm it i bent the prong down in the socket and put the bulb in and bam it lights up no problem, so there is a problem with the turn signal circuit and it has to be the harness in the trunk. unless i wired the resistors in wrong or something, ah i donno.
