What I did for my Depo hack was make the furthest out LED set be my turn signals and left the rest alone. Works great! Now NO one can tell me that they did not see me signal to make a lane change. Hahah

So I just bought a pair of these and am not sure if I'm missing something or what, but when I turn my lights on (I've turned ALL of them one to ensure I'm not going crazy or missing something) but there seems to be no 'tail lights' illuminating...period. The brake lights work when the brake is depressed. The turn signals work, check. The driver's side 'rear fog light' works, check. But no LEDs or any light coming out of them at all from what I can tell. Am I missing something? Is there a bulb maybe I should replace? I can't figure this one out!

*solution*

I know this thread died long ago, but for anyone who is having trouble with the DEPO LED tail lights and the outer brake lights not working, there is an easy fix.

1. Cut off the bulb adapter for the outer brake lights.
2. Cut the wire for the inner brake lights and leave about 2 inches from the bulb adapter.
3. Cut a 7" long piece of wire to connect the outer brake lights to the inner brake lights.
4. Attach the extension wire to the outer brake lights wire.
5. connect the inner brake lights, the extension wire and the bulb adapter wires together.
6. DONE! The inner bulb socket now powers both the inner and outer.

Works 100% on my car.

Hope this helps!
