Anyone know how to help me? I went to put my led tail lights in today (very simple plug in)...one worked, but blinked real fast so I switched the plug around to see if this would correct the quick blinking and it wouldn't work at all so I switched it back the way I had it. Long story short, now, even with my stock tail lights back in, neither tail light signals work!? And no, the bulbs didn't burn out....Could it be a blown fuse or ?? I'd appreciate any help!!!!
Thanks

The running lamp goes at the top, the turn signal in the middle and of course the reverse at the bottom. If you put them in backwards sometimes it will blow the fuse. So check the fuses under the hood. If you have the same ones as me, what I did was write 1,2,3 on the stock light and the light socket harness. Makes it easier to install. Then write the corresponding number on the led light.

crombs i feel you pain i screwed mine up the first time hooking them up backwards and it was a fuse popping bad time for a few days. I checked the panel just inside the drivers door i blew a few in there and some under the hood as well finally got the lights hooked up the right way and they worked

here is one of mine the right side is working properly here the left side wasnt due to a blown fuse but it gives you an idea how bright they are in the daytime

I have a question, i wanna get LED tails for my 99 tahoe but i hear that the LEDs themselves dont last long and then you have to buy a whole new tail light. I also wanna know about the way its made. Ive bought after market tails for my old car and they were ****, they leaked and water got in them. Idk if certain brand are better or not tho. And i also need to be able to fit a strobe light bulb into the reverse light housing. If anyone could help my id appreciate it.
