Hi, I've been using the ebay led tails for a while now but today suddenly the light-out indicator had came on. I checked the lights and the bulbs nothing seem to look wrong. Does anyone have any idea what the problem may be?
Also, I remember reading a thread about where to place the resistors to prevent them from heating up things. Can anyone link me to back? I did a search but can't seem to find it. Much thanks if anyone can help me out.

just get a load resistor, each side of the resistor goes to each wire (power and ground) pretty simple, however you need to know which bulb is throwing the code. But if you've had them on for a year and it went out, theres another problem. Triple check your lights cause there one out
When you turn the car on, is it on already? if it is, then certainly its not the tails, if it were the tails (or third brake light) then it will turn on only when you hit the brakes.

it turns on only when i switch on the lights
my tail bulbs are definitely all working but i'll check my third brake light and the spoiler lights to make sure...
oh, also my led tails do come with resistors already but i just don't know where to mount them
