I just installed my JDM tails tonight.. To check if they are working, i turned on the ignition and i noticed that when on the park position, one light on the driver side tail does not light up but both the passenger tails, lights up. I am talking about the red lights so only three lights light up but when i step on the brake all of them light up brighter. Is this normal or should all 4 of them light when i'm in park position?

No problem. It's day time though and it's kinda hard to tell what I'm talking about:

That's not the orange part lit up. They only come on when the blinker/hazards are on. At night the whole white is lit up. All I did was drill out carefully where the bossing was and insert the 4th bulb where I think the old orange was on the USDM tails was. My GF and friends are always giving me sh*t cause I can't leave well enough alone LOL. I wanted the white lit up so I made it happen. Next I want the red around the back up light to light up too and the LED bulbs from Autozone. I have the next 2 1/2 weeks off so I will probably do that then. I'll post up pics after the new year. How do ya'lls JDM tails light up? Anybody got pics?

the pic i posted is how they are supposed to light up. to my knowledge, you are the first to do that. i kind of like it smile.gif if you could post night pics later tonight or whenever, id appreciate it. what do you mean the orange part isnt lit up? is the other bulb ouside the reflector?

edit- when i bought my jdms, they included the harness and bulbs.

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.
