Miller812 Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 So I bought two pairs of the 3157 v-leds type 2 bulbs witch are 6k white when on and then amber when blinking. I put them in and bought a led lighting control module from napa (part # lm487? Witch made them blink normal but they do not shine white when just on. Wat else do I gotta do to get them to work?

You shouldn't have to do anything. They should be plug in play. First I would check the fuse to your blinkers then if that doesn't work I would try flipping the bulbs around. Then if that didn't work I would call the company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller812 Posted January 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Ok ill try to flip the bulbs around and I'm sure all the fuses are good but ill check them to. Also I noticed before these my tail lights only lit up down the middle on running lights and now its the side ones to( there led ones) also I noticed that the blin ker arrows on dash have a little light behind them now in the dark. Also I was on the website and there was a guy with an 06 silverado that just has them in his blinkers and all he did was wired in load resistors and they worked. The box I got is the same thing tho isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catdaddy300 Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 i would have to see a pic of what the problem is but when you are dealing with LED taillights and LED lights it is really easy to blow fuses in the instillation of the lights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller812 Posted January 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 I checked all my fuses and all are good. The drls work but on the amber, the turn signls work but just won't light up on regular parking light. I have not touched the wires at all. All I did was replace the blinker modual under the dash with one that supports leds witch made them blink normal. I tried switchin the bulbs around and they didn't work at all. When I plug them in with the parking lights turned on they flash white but won't stay on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverado777 Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 If you want your DRL's to be white and then blink amber you will have to wire your turn signials to your DRL's. Like in the pic below. This is a pic from silverado_ss_04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller812 Posted January 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 That's the plan but I figured I would just try and get the one workin first lol. Did he need to get another plug with the 3 wires comin out of it cause I noticed the drl only has two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can find one at a junk yard or it might not be that much to buy from a dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
