My L.E.Ds don't seem to work i removed the tail light panel and tried installing my rear L.E.D 's and they just don't turn on, i don't have a resistor on either of them, Anyone willing to help with the install? I was only able to install the side markers.

How to take the license plate bulb covers in the rear off, im not sure i tried installin my led for the license plate cover and couldn't do it.

No one knows?

DAS knows it best!
My explanation is that because LCM see rear light bulb as burnt out, it keep giving pulses to the path. What you'll need is LED light w/ resistor.

Is that for all of them in the rear? My reverse Led dont' work either? its really pissing me off, the only ones that work are the side markers, i wonder if the fronts will be the same. I hate the amber reflectors too

I forget if the rear lights are push in or if you have to push and turn. I know with some of the leds they will only come on when in a certain way. Try putting them in the opposite way.
