Problems with bulbs after installing clear turn signals
I just got finished installing my clear turn signals and hooked up my new 194 and 3157 led lights and now my 194 bulbs won't work on the front and rear side markers. The turn signals will light up but won't flash whenI turn them on. Also mytaillights light up but signal real fast. I thought I blew a fuse but I can't seem to find what fuse controls the front and rear 194 bulbs. The ownersmanualhas fuses for high beams ,fog lamps, but no park lamps or turn signals.Does Autozone or Advance have a diagnostics computer to help me?Thanks

RE: Problems with bulbs after installing clear turn signals
It sounds to me like the LED bulbs are for a singal filament replacement. There is no fuse directly for the marker lights. They run power through the smart junction box and the bussed electrical center.

There is no fuse to my knowledge either. Why do you want white turn lights? I think that is illegal anyway. Just go with the stealthbulbs like the rest of us.

1 get some that are amber
2 you may need to put in a resistor because led's use less power than regular lights
I'm unsure of the exact fix for the blink-less problem but that’s my guess

Iput the stock bulbs in andeverything works now. What confused me was when I changed the passenger side and tried it both leds worked, but when I took the drivers side stock bulbs outand replaced them thats when the 194 bulbs would not work. Thanks again for all your help.

RE: Problems with bulbs after installing clear turn signals
Take the LEDs out and flip them over. They are polar +/- specific, assuming they are the little wedge bulbs. If they are thetwist ones, then a resistor needs to be installe which is a little more involved and you will need to weather proof the modification.This happened to me while installing the rear red qtr panel LEDs. If it is the twist bulb, go with the stealth bulbs, They are real nice and a hassle free install.
