LED tail light Problem.

I recently purchesed both front turn and tail lights LED's Bulbs from Jusnes Mod.

The problem is the do not work, when installed w/resistors, or with out ( I tried it both ways) The dash lights flash when the turn signal are turned on.
The running light,s nor stop lights operate.

Has anyone else done this mod and it worked?
Am I missing something?

any Info would help.
Thanks

We have installed them before in quite a few applications, including an 04 F150. If the bulbs are not lighting at all, it sounds like you have their polarity incorrect.

LED bulbs can only be used in one direction, where and incandescent will work either way. Try spinning the bulb 180 degrees in the socket.

Also, make sure you are installing the resistors correctly. You will need one resistor per bulb, and use the tap connectors to bridge across the ground and the stop/turn (bright) circuit.

Thats fine Jim, I'm just glad you got it to work. I need to get some GOOD directions for them. And feel free to contact me any time, through PMs or email here if you need help with something you got from me. Its not worth selling stuff and then forgetting about the customer!
