Default FIXED! ebay LED taillight help FIXED!

Hello, yes ive searched.
I had these LEDs in previosuly,
These were plug and play with only 1 plug.



i Bought the thinners ones today and the plugs were different, and require the
stock harness from the OEM taillights. I installed everythign, but the lights seem to always be on brake position when i turn on the car lights. and when i step on the brakes, they go a little brighter. does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

I figured it out today at 8AM. When they say plug and play you really have to plug and play. Unplugged one light and did one at a time and kept changing the plugs until ti worked right.

Glad you figured it out, man. Those are the same lights I have in my car. Good choice

Were you up all night and then finally figured it out at 8AM or did you have an epiphany during the night

Can you post up a link to where you bought the thinner ones? I'm interested in getting a set.

Odd, these new LEDs have resisters on them, yet they still make the dash lights go off..
