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.
What do you mean the opposite way?
