Hey guys I just installed my tail lamps but it seems that the outer passenger lamp seems to be slightly delayed. Anybody knows what's happening?

Here's the vid.

Thanks in advance guys!

What do u mean by delayed? In the brake light, rapid fire, or sequential?

^ all three functions :/

it might be the resistor. contact technostalgia for their opinion and maybe a replacement.

Mr. iNCREDIBLE · 02-21-2014, 03:42 AM

yeah mine did that when I installed them.

All I had to do was unplug the light that was out of sync, cycle the lights (on then off) and plug it back in..

then it was fine..

unplug the part that goes to where the bulb used to plug in..

One time I had 3 LEDs not working in the middle section of one tail light. When I call Technostalgia he just asked me to unplug the power for a few mins and let them "reset". Have worked great since.

Ok, thanks a lot guys! I'm going to try that tomorrow!

Quick question, exactly what do you mean by "cycle the lights"?

turn your headlights on then off.. using the headlight knob/switch.

When mine acted up, I was told to pull the fuse wire and wait for a minute. Resets the chip. Worked like a charm...

xTHExxFALLENx · 02-21-2014, 02:02 PM

Nothing worked, I disconnected the plug that used to be the bulb then cycled the lights on and off two times and nothing worked. I guess it's just a messed up resistor. I'm trying to get in contact with them now. Thanks guys for all of your help!

Have u tried switching resistors? See if the problem happens to other tail lights.
