Led tails installed.... Issues

[T3rry]

Hey all, I got my eBay tails today (ill post a pic and link later, on my phone right now)

anyways, having some issues, got em all installed fine and all, problem is, they are flashing fast, which I expected these "plug n play" lights to not need the extra resistor n such.

Also, I noticed these do not have any running lights (no lights on when the headlights are turned on) is this normal? I am not sure I am comfortable with that, and I am pretty sure it's illegal here to not have running lights on the rear....


Any suggestions? Otherwise the lights look hot, and light up as expected for brakes and 4ways.

And I did watch the video in the forum, I did exactly as they said, top to top, middle to bottom, bottom to middle... Chcked the wires to make sure they were black to black..

i know i's only been less than a day since i posted this, but it's getting burried and i really need a resolution to this, could someone at least tell me if i should expect there to be running lights?

Yes you should definitely have rear lights when the headlights are on. Those are pretty much the same lights I have except mine are red. I had no issues. Double check to make sure you have everything hooked up right.

Actually I think you hooked them up wrong...its not top to top

Hook them up like this...

Stock top = LED middle
Stock middle = LED bottom
Stock bottom = LED top

The video is WRONG. Not your fault.

Sorry I didn't see this earlier. What Yuk_Nali is definitely what I would check also. When I hooked up my tails I followed the stock pattern and tested my lights and had the exact same problems. I wasn't sure what the order needed to be. So I tried flipping the signals with the brake lights and everything worked perfectly.

switch the cables around there probably flipped samething happened to mine make sure you line the positve and negative cables with the connectors on the tahoe or you will blow your fuses.
