lowsound10 Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 you need dual filaments if that what you mean Quote Vehicle: 2008 Mustang V6 Exterior: Blacked Out Taillights, Turn Signals, Side Markers-Black 18x8 Enkei ls5-6000k HID's Interior: Blue LED Strips with Module for Music-Hardwired Beltronics RX65 with Blue LED and remote button Sub: 2 10 inch custom subs Amp: Hifonics BRz 2600 Wire: Knu 0 gauge Headunit: Kenwood kiv-bt901 Damplifier: Fatmat Rattletrap Electrical: Stock Alt/Stock Battery/Big 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowsound10 Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 35 dollars? well tail lights have to be dual filaments and front turn signals because when you flick you lights on they will be at a sorta low level. then when they are used say apllying the break they will get brighter... im a little confused on what you mean they dont work...do they not fit? or not light up?

9blazer8 Posted July 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 no they have 35 leds in each bulb, well i bought them thinking they would work there the right size i tried rotating them around but no luck they dont light up at all untill i take out my reverse light out of the socket then install the led bulb into that socket then it works great. i was thinking it could be needing a resistor on all four of the bulbs in order for them to work... now i thought maybe its the bulbs but i have white led bulbs for my reverse lights so i just took them out and installed them in my tail lights and they dont work either. its werid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowsound10 Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 uhh id have to say wrong bulb size because usually a reverse light isnt the same size as the taillight. unless im wrong i didnt look up your bulb sizes. i know in my car they are different. even though you may need resistors i have leds in mine and they work just give me the light out indicator by blinking fast.

9blazer8 Posted July 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 yeah thats why im lost im not sure why they wont work, but yeah they worked in my reverse sockets there super bright to and i just bought these clear tail lights no red on them to make the bulbs look red but i had clear bulbs in there here in michigan and probably every state the tail lights have to shine red or with red flim on them. i contacted the seller on ebay to see what they will do they have really good feedback so hopefully they will help me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
