madmax Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 (edited) so i just put my led tails in and one of them doesnt work...i tried switching the connectors but no go...the other one works but blinks too fast so I'm assuming I need some led load resistors...anyone know which resistors i need and where to get them?

BRAD Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 I had the same problem with mine. I just kept switching around the way it plugs into the pigtail and finally got it working. The passenger side was the one giving me a problem and they were also ICPW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The passenger side was the one giving me a problem and they were also ICPW mines passenger side too but ive switched the connectors in a thousand different combinations and still no luck...what about the blinking, did yours blink fast too?

BRAD Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Yes it did bllink fast. I did get it to work properly when I started messing with it though. This may be a dumb question but did you put the stock bulb in to make sure one of the front bulbs isnt burned up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacmannSS Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 If you haven't already check the fuses under the hood, mine did the same thing and the tail light fuse had blown from me switching the plugs around on the lights.

You may have blown a fuse when you plugged them in wrong, so check the fuses then try again, if it doesnt work recheck the fuses and try a different way. Keep doing it until you get it right.

evandostert Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Double check to make sure they have load resistors in them if not you can pick them up at any autozone. I used kuryakin ones from their motorcycle line they are waterproof, smaller and a higher quality. You need one on each side. I mounted them with 3m red mounting tape.

madmax Posted November 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 If you haven't already check the fuses under the hood problem solved! i double checked all the fuses for the passanger side in the cab but never thought to check under the hood got them both working and slowed the blinking down as well without having to purchase the resistors but now the cruise control doesnt work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1of@kyne Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 problem solved! i double checked all the fuses for the passanger side in the cab but never thought to check under the hood got them both working and slowed the blinking down as well without having to purchase the resistors but now the cruise control doesnt work I am thinking about getting LED taillights. Where did you guys buy them from? Does it happen to all LED taillights? Or just from the the place you bought it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04CHASE Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 the ones i have ha dno problems , cruise works and so do the blinkers. but for the cruise you still need the resistors, it thinks your brake are on so it wont engage the cc.

evandostert Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 (edited) You need this, http://www.kuryakyn.com/products.asp?bn=metric&ci=2974 I already went thru this bs. Clip the end off of it and use the red quick connect or solder it in. I broke out the soldering kit.

smkdu Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 Some of the common problems with Led tails is they are too low wattage to trip the flasher so they blink fast. Some things to do 1. If you have a Thermal flasher get a eletrical flasher it will solve it b/c the eletrical flasher is for low wattage. 2. Get a load resistor. Hope this helps when my bulbs come I post pics of the Halo LED brakelight s I got for my 98 Z71 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
