95 ext cab odd issue driverside lights out - Infamous Nissan

minitrucker6669 · 04-28-2014, 02:54 AM

Long story short I have no reverse lights
when I tap my brake pedal I lose the drivers tailight and it doesnt light up for the brake
ive replaced all my light assemblys and everything has LED bulbs. I replaced the fuse for the taillights and they worked for a short term then quit working again. What could be the issue? Ive also got the front marker light out on the drivers side. Put the test light up and it lights up. Hook up the pass and the light works. But the correct side harness doesnt
Could the harness on the light assembly go bad?

you need to replace the flashers to compensate for the LEDs. LEDs don't have the voltage to run the flashers (turn signal and emergency) so you have to install ones that the LEDs can operate.

I didnt replace my signals with LED. Those are still amber bulbs. The marker lights front and rear and license plate lights are purple led. And the tailights are red LED.
