I installed LED tails last night and I soldered resistors onto the inner lights and now my 3rd brake light is always on (the one behind the rear window). It wasn't doing this with my stock lights. Also when I turn on my lights the rear brake light comes on in the dash. With lights off, whenever I step on the brake, the light comes on and goes off when I let go of the brake. Anyone have any idea?

its the lamp out failure module...the earlier LED tails had these issues...the newer ones suppose to resolve it with built-in resistors.
adding resistors suppose to fix the lamp out from showing up on the front dash console. try re-wiring it.
got any pics?

Seems that you may have to install resistors for the outer and inner brake lights...both left and right side. And if you did LED signals...maybe that too....not sure...just thinking out loud. ![Uhh...](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/1387914497.gif)
Honestly, I would just remove that pin #4 from the Lamp Failure Module...and call it a day.![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

It's not just the lamp failure problem, it's my 3rd brake light is always on and it lights up when I press the brake like the inner and outer brake lights.. :'(
I figure I might have soldered it wrong
