I decided to replace my rear tail lights and break lights(not 3rd break light) with some LED bulbs.
Problem is, when I insert them they do not go on, but for some reason if I put them in the "reverse" light bulb socket, they light up just fine.
Is the power output different for the break/tail lights compared to the reverse light? Is there a way to get these LED bulbs to work?
