Possibly, it takes the 4 LED lights together with the front ones to create the resistence properties necessary for everything to work. Without my parking lights on there just isn't enough load in the system and something is going wrong. When I turn on my parking lights the extra load on the system brings everything on and it works fine. 
Is there anyone out there who hasn't given up on this thread already, with rectangular lights and had sucess with LEDs in the tail lights. |
Patrick and Dan,
Dan, You did mention that you have 4 blinker relays? or 2? or 1? In most cases the blinker has at least 3 incandescent lights in a normal circuit. Front, Rear and the dash indicator. If you have a blinker relay for each light, the problem may be that each relay only has one LED for it's load. It's not easy to tell from the discussion. Most LED distributors sell loads for the LED blinkers to operate correctly. Do you have something like this installed? However it seems this is the opposite problem... Normally the load is needed to get the relay to blink. All your lights are blinking !! ??? I am cornfused!
