Today I went to pick up my car from the body shop I was having it sprayed at, upon leaving with my Mother driving behind me called me on my phone to tell me my drivers side light is real dim, I pull over and pull of the side panels and noticed my divers side LED tail light was causing my 3rd (window) brake light to stay on and also cause my ABS VSC and VSC OFF lights to kick on not to mention the "lights out" light was also on.. The lights are from Carson and it has 3 gold colored I would guess resistors 1 50 Watt 30ohm and 2 20Watts 8 ohm's and the 2 20Watts were really hot! when I unplugged the light and restarted the car everything worked perfectly fine anybody ever have this problem with the LED tails? is it just time to buy a new set?

ill post just to try and kick things off for you here. i dotn have led lights and dont know much about electronics, but i do know that those resistors are meant to get very hot so thats probably fine.

perhaps it has dropped a resistor and that is the problem? i cant tell you how, but maybe google search for how to test a resistor, you may just need to replace one of the resistors.

It's Possible they plugged them in backwards... I think i originally had that issue when i first installed them

I'm having a problem with the inner two tail lights coming on with the outer ones. The outer lights power on but the inner ones do not. If i hit the brakes they turn on, but that is it. anybody else have this problem?
