Default any one with led taillights??

i am trying an experiment with smoking some led taillights , because i dont like the way they come , anyway to the point. i went to test them befroe i start any painting and i am getting a quick flash signal and my cruise wont work. so im thinking the resistance is too low so they either think im braking ( CC wont work) and they are getting no signal or little so the blinker blink fast.

i know some led tails dont do this, any one have any ideas on what to do?

You Need A Special Resistor/resistance In The Circuit To Match What A Standard Bulb Reaches.... If You Want You Can Get My Led Tails To Work With.... So You An Measure The Resistance In Them


I Used Them For About 4 To 6 Months And Am Now With My Stockers...

Lemme Know Or Pm Me

You could also check and just flip the plugin part that goes into the socket, sometimes you cant tell which was is which and it makes them blink 10x faster...just a suggestion happened to a buddy

TRUE AN ELECTRONIC FLASHER SHOULD CURE FAST BLINKING PROBLEM... A THERMAL FLASHER WONT WORK

Any auto parts store should have it. I got mine form AutoZone for $12 bucks.



And the LED or polarity sensitive make sure they are installed the right way and get the flasher and see if it works.
