I'm installing them and ran into some trouble, I have both tail lights wired up exactly the same; however, when I turn on my headlights like i usually do, the right side has running red lights and the left side does not.

Use your multimeter to figure out which side of the harness is +, and match the red side of the spade connector to it.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

10 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hey guys, so i decided to buy a set of led tail lights just to see if i like the setup or not. I'm installing them and ran into some trouble, I have both tail lights wired up exactly the same; however, when I turn on my headlights like i usually do, the right side has running red lights and the left side does not. When my headlights are not on both tail lights blink and brake fine. I've tried looking up what the problem is and the threads i've came across haven't really helped or been very clear. I'm uploading some pics of what I mean so maybe it helps get a better idea. Again, I am not an electrical expert or anywhere close to one so please if you use electrical terms please try to simplify them (sorry). I could also just be a total idiot and i'm messing up something very easy. If there is a more simple way of installing step by step, please point me in the right direction, my searching has not helped me. Any help is appreciated, thank you! Rights side. Light running when headlights are switched on (not pressing brake) Rights side wiring Left side. light not running, not pressing brake. Wired the same as the other side. Left side wiring

POST 2Original post

Did you swap the lights from left to right to see if the same light has the problem? If so, it's probably a bad light.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

that light isnt a bult though, it's a connection to the led. so does that mean the tail light is bad?

POST 5Original post

Hi, I happen to be installing the same lights (are these "Spyders" from Amazon?) now and I'm having some issues. Were you able to figure out how to properly wire these? I'm a bit confused on the wiring and am currently blowing a fuse when the right side running lights are on...

POST 6Original post

Do a search - there is a post somewhere that has detailed photos. There is a wire that plugs into the outermost socket that can easily be plugged in correctly or with polarity reversed. If you're blowing fuses, you probably have that plug reversed.

POST 7Original post

Yup I already installed these. If your blowing a fuse on the right side pull it off and take the small blade type plug and unplug it and flip it. replace the fuse and you should be good to go.

POST 8Original post

^^ Exactly - the spade plug for the small bulb at the end isn't polarity keyed - I did this same thing installing mine. Use your multimeter to figure out which side of the harness is +, and match the red side of the spade connector to it. You'll be golden. If you don't have a multimeter, you could peel back the shrink tubing to get a better idea if which side is the + side, but a multimeter is the better way to go. If the spade bulb connector is installed reversed, you blow the fuse for that side. When you don't notice the fuse is blown, troubleshooting REALLY gets frustrating.

POST 9Original post

Looks like you have the same LED tails I got - the built-in resistor pack seems to prevent the hyperflash issue that plagued a lot of other LED tail users...

POST 10Original post

Thanks for the info on flipping the outer spade bulb connector. I did this and all is good. No more blown fuses (I burned out two of them) and the lights look awesome. Now if only I can get my Reverse lights working...
