Re: Stumped

Thanks for the responses guys. This morning I took out the LED marker bulbs and put regular 194's back in and still no lights. I then pulled the front marker light LED's and put 1157's back in and then the side markers lit up. Then I put the side marker LED's back in and they still didn't light up. Also yes the front side markers and turn signals work interrmittently when the the left or right signal lights are used. I'm hoping I just need different side marjker LED bulbs so everything will work as it should.

This indicates you can't use 1157 type LED bulbs in the front blinker and have the side marker lights work. This is because LEDs are diodes and only conduct electricity in one direction.

So what do you think about just using conventional 1157's in the front?

or

You can wire the front markers in the marker-only configuration. They would no longer be dependent on the blinker wiring and would not be affected by whatever type of 1157 bulbs you want to use (LED or conventional). They would not blink. That is the way slightly earlier years worked anyway.

or

There are LED side marker assemblies that have 3 wire hookup, you may need that for the front side marker if it's important to you to have the blink function on the side marker.

-------
my 2 cents.

Thanks for the help. So are you saying if I get the 3 wire LED's I can run LED's in my signal light and side markers and they will blink intermittently? If so do you know here I can get 3 wire LED's as i havent been able to find them.
