Exclamation LED Taillights Arrived...

So I decided to change up the look of the taillights, I already have sequentials and really enjoy them but, decided to go with something else...There was a thread somewhere about LEDs and sequential compatability and so that was another reason for doing this. As it turns out LEDs and sequentials DON'T work with each other which really bummed me out... They do work but, when I turn on the turn signal or the hazards, they won't signal. I may end up selling these unless someone has a stock harness they're willing to get rid of for cheap

Those with sequentials and are looking to go LED...It wont work

I think you might need load resistors to get them to work.

Hmmm...weird. Can you take a picture of the backside and show us the sockets/connections? There's gotta be a way to get them to work.

I took a couple of pics of the back, I'll have them up shortly.

The black connections there go where the bulbs connect to on the harness...


Heres a top view, the resistors are the square looking things...


I've gotten no funtion from the turn signals so maybe its something in the sequential harness I have...

ive got the same tail lights. thought about the sequentials but didnt think it would work. have u tried flipping the cords upside down when u insert them into the other ends? i found out that was why my lights didnt work was cause they had to be a certain way

You can have my stock harness, just cover about 5 bucks for the shipping. PM your address if you want it.

The lights do work but, when I tried the hazards or turn signals, they wouldn't come on and the direction I had the signal on would start flickering really fast...The instructions mentioned about flipping the connection upside down if they didnt work which i did but, didnt fix the signal problem.
