While i had the factory cables installed i replaced th factory lightbulbs with leds. Works like a charm.

I've ordered a sequential taillight kit from Raxiom. Without lights. I've placed the 6 leds in the cable and installed it. Here's what happens.

LED
Lights off and:
- hazard lights on, nothing
- flasher left/right, nothing
- brake, nothing
- and all these combinations, nothing

Lights on and:
- hazard lights, on but no flash
- flasher left/right, on but no flash
- brake, on but no flash
- all of these combinations, still on but no flash

FACTORY BULBS
Everything works.


So what went wrong?

My sequentials won't work with LED's either, the instructions pointed that out. I don't think the aftermarket sequentials will work with anything but the factory type bulbs.

But American Muscle sells sequential LED tail light kits..

They don't work because you need the proper load resistance, or it could be as simple as flipping them 180* if you haven't tried that yet. most likely a load resistance issue though

157dB

Yes, the LEDs are POLARITY sensitive.
You might have a few in backwards.
Plus the SJB wants to see a load that
filiment bulbs provide that LEDs dont.
They sell 'Load resistors' at the autozoner
but thats not the best way to address the
problem.
