Been struggling with same issue trying to replace the regular bulbs with LEDs. The tail lights may not have enough resistance. You may need to add a load resistor (6 ohms 50w).

Although I did the side marker to blinker conversion and it seems that if a ground is connected to the system it only works with cruising lights or higher on. With the ground connected to the body, in other words a good ground to the chasis, it will work as a blinker only whether lights are on or not. However, as a consequence, the side marker function is inactive so not sure it will pass inspection like that.

On the rear LEDs, I have not tried "butchering" my car to get these work. I REALLY WANT LED bulbs in back, have cool designs already bought….but cannot get them to work.

Maybe we could all put our heads together and solve the LED problem? There are smarter people who have done this….where are you?
