ok so i just got the LED tail lights heres a link to which ones i have, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_Car-...=1218746846843 so now when i have the directionals on the leds on top blink with the yellow directional bulb, but the leds blink very very dim when this happens.. is there something in the connector that has to be switched? but when i have my lights on (parking lights) the leds dont blink just remain on, but they work how there suppose to and idk what to do.. its not a huge deal but it just looks weird with leds blinking with a directional durring the day.

 

So do they work ok? I guess I'm confused. How did they fit?

 

yea they work just fine and fit perfect... its just they blink with the directional if the parking/headlights arent on. its very dim though, but why are they even blinking with it? its weird.

 

it sounds like the leds are getting a voltage leak from the standard lights. its really not that uncommon. leds are pretty sensitive to higher voltage because it takes so little to power an led. you might be able to fix this with a small resistor but i personally wouldnt bother it might be a little too much work for what its worth

 

I have been thinking about these or smoked rear tails for my black a6...

 

where would i put the resistor? like which wires would it be put on? i mean ive used resistors before when i had my last car it had led tail lights and i had to use em on the directionals. other than that i love the tail lights. ill post pictures.

 

jk i guess i cant post pictures... idk how on a reply

 

Try to change the fuse see if that helps. ( or installa resistor in the wire that goes to the bulb )

WALK INTO RADIOSHACK AND ASK SOMEBODY!! LOL they can give you everything you need!

Honestly just because you paid alot doesnt mean its not junk.
It's possible (obviously) the people who made it didn't think these things through.
Try to email them also.

 

are you sure its just not reflection ... i work in electrical construction and leds use like under a 1/10th (just a estimate) of the power a normal bulb will use ... if the wires are isolated to the bulbs then a voltage leak isnt possible im nto sure how the tail lights are set up i bought some tint spray to smoke mine but i havent taken them out to do it yet

 

send us a picture at night i want to see
as for your problem, its probably the way its wired! Shoot it might even be like that on purpose. LOL email the seller looks like he sells alot of them I'm sure he's gotten this complaint before.
