Disconnected the lead at the tail lights for the turn signal and brake light circuit and then the tail lights worked (lit up) when lights turned on. Reconnect leads at tail light bulb holder for turn signal and brake lights and tail lights went off again.

Reversed leads on tail light bulb holder and tail lights worked OK with lights on (but burning on brighter bulb filitment). Turn signals and brake lights didn't work.

But to be clear - everything works just fine with 1157 or 2357 bulbs used.

If the the lights worked with standard bulbs, but not with the LEDs, the only conclusion I come up with is there is something wrong with the bulbs or their connections. Have you tried testing the bulbs when they are not in the socket?
