LED Sidemarkers Issue - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

erk5000 · 02-24-2013, 12:46 PM

I have seen a thread like this before but nothing got resolved.
I have just bought ORACLE LED Sidemarkers for my car yesterday from Antidote Performance. These guys are awesome by the way.... Anyways the issue I ran into when installing them today was power issue. I currently have a non-RS Camaro with RS headlights and Ofer's (forum member 2SSRS) RS headlight conversion harness along with LED 5202 foglights. After installing the LED sidemarkers and turn my headlights on while the car is NOT turned on... They work along with my headlights and halos. Now when I turn my ON, my front Sidemarkers, headlights, and halos wont come on at all. I can turn my foglights on just fine still but halos wont come on with them like they usually do. My rear sidemarkers work just fine. Has anyone resolved this issue?

Okay, I drove around with my foglights on and noticed my sidemarkers and halos came on by seeing my cars reflection against another car. Then I parked in front of a store right in front of the window of the store and then saw my sidemarkers and halos still on then they just shut off after a couple of minutes. I truend my foglights off and as I waited outside, I turned them back on and sidemarkers with halos worked for a second but then shut right off.

Not trying to bash any one, but i think it has to do with R value of the side markers, there making the BCM think that there some thing going on that is not, funny that only the front side markers are doing it not the rears.

Hey erk I think I know what is happening. This happened to me a long time ago when I had my white camaro. I'm guessing you did the turn signal mod when you installed the rs headlights . My solution is to replace those with new ones and the problem will go away. I don't know why but it worked for me

Sorry I was unclear. I meant to say to get new turn signal bulbs and plugs those in without doing the turn signal mod.

zkdreads · 02-25-2013, 10:00 AM

are the side markers just plug and play?

Ah ok...cause of the turn signal mod I have right? By clipping the lil wire so that the turn signals wont stay on? So buy new ones?
