I got Curren Tail Lights recently. Installation was simple. I was informed of this problem last night. My tail lights won't light up at night. Like when your high beams are on, I know that your tail lights are supposed to light up red, and then even more red when you brake. It does light up when I brake, but not when my headlights are on... This is dangerous. Lol. I'm thinking I connected the plug backwards. Could this be the problem? Please help. A.S.A.P.

ok this is how it happens
cause i JUST did it when you installed a side when you tighten it down the wiring harness will get pinched between the body and the light housing so when you tighten the nut it squeezes the wire.....and creates a grounding point for short thus blowing the fuse for the "tails" this how ever does not blow the "stop" fuse allowing you to push your brakes down and have them light up so undo them and find out where you pinched the wires and then carefully put them back in making sure not to get wires pinched replace the blown "tail" fuse 15amp and your ready to go |
