Silverado Tail Lights?

[Alljackedup408]

ight.. so i ordered a set of tail lights through recon.. the led ones. I installed the lights.. and they kept blowing fuses the second you touch the brake pedal. So i sent them back... got another pair.. and the same thing!! im pretty angry cause they are like 300 dollar taillights... before i go and start hunting for issues.. i wanted to know if someone else has run into this issue before.

 

thanks.

I know LED lights have WAAAYYY less the draw then conventional bulbs. The system is probebly seeing a short and popping the fuse because its soo low. how i fix this som b**ch lol.

ASE Certified huh???

 

I would say you'd have to simulate the load of a conventional bulb. I know they make led load equalizers/resistors for turn signals...probably the same idea for your problem. You'd think the company that made the lights would know about this and would have a fix available...

yeah i was thinking about using a load resistor... just pisses me off.. i buy 300 dollar tail lights.. and they pop fuses.. when they are to be... bolt ins...lol. I just wanted to get some takes before i started messin with stuff... yeah.. ase certified..lol. dont deal with alot of led's lol.
