Passat (B6) :: LEDs Not Working In Taillights
Feb 18, 2011
I have a few bad LEDs at the bottom of each tail light. Have others had this problem? How many have to die before VW will replace them under warranty {2008 with 20K miles}

Ford F-150 (2004-2008) :: 2005 F250 - Taillights Stopped Working?
I have a 2005 F250 5.4 3V Triton work truck that the tail lights will not work on. When I turn my lights on, the front running lights come on but no tail lights. I have brake lights, turn signals, emergency flashers, but no tail lights. I have checked all my fuses, checked the wiring and even replaced the bulbs, but still no tail lights. I turned my lights on and pulled the fuse that powered them and the parking lamps on the front went off, I replaced the fuse and they came back on but still no tail lights. I got pulled over by a state trooper because of it so I would really like to get to the bottom of this.

I have a 2013 Passat SE. I have a few questions for those of you who have converted to LED taillights;
1. What year Passat do you have, and what trim level (S, SE, SEL)?
2. Do your LED taillights flicker when you first turn on the ignition? This would be a computer generated test sequence.
3. How long did it take you to do your conversion?
4. Do the outside black plastic trim pieces, on the trunk mounted lights, fit well? If not, what did you do to correct this?
Since I am not mechanically inclined (other than basic service), certainly not wiring, I asked my local dealer if they would install them for me. Their foreman is working on the car because I wouldn't be charged for every hour spent on the car. It is still likely to be a big bill, and I am beginning to wonder if it was worth it. He has spent an hour or two each day since Monday or Tuesday, plus several hours today. The lights work very well. Even the rear fog light. So, I am happy with them. However, the foreman is still tracking down a persistent buzzing sound which will likely be solved with one or two ground wires. The lights don't fit as well as the stock do, but the imperfections are hardly noticeable. On the trunk mounted lights, the black outside trim pieces barely stay on. My guess is if I shut the trunk with any force they'll fall off.
The foreman has had to completely re-wire my taillights, all the way through the door sills to the BCM. I had provided the instructions that I downloaded from this forum in another thread, however he said those instructions were for a 2012 SEL Highline Passat, which is different from mine. Note, I bought the Chinese LED taillights.
Prius (2010-12) :: Installed LEDs Now Lights Stopped Working
I replaced all the interior halogen lights, parking lights and license plate lights with cool white LEDs. They look good and all was fine until the last step while installing the license plate lights. I plugged one side then turn the light switch on to verify the polarity to see if bulb would come on which it did. Same process for the second license plate light but this time around after turning on the light switch to see if it was plugged in right, I noticed the brake lights didn't come on. So I flipped the switch around a few times and nothing. Now the DRLs do not come on either as well as the parking lights. The only lights that work now are the head lights and interior lights. What happened how do I fix???

So I noticed the other night that one of my LED's on my headlamp flickered while they were on, with the key in ignition. As of today, the driver's side LED light went out. Where to to tap into to make an attempt to figure this out. Wires and connector seem to be all in tact.

I have a 2010 RX450H and recently I've noticed the inner taillights (the portion that is stuck on the boot door) fails to light up when the headlights are switched on. At times I give it a nudge and it seems to work again. I'm guessing it's a loose connector somewhere. I tried look at the boot door but couldn't figure out how to get to the taillights. Is it even worth my trouble to attempt fixing it myself or should I send it in to the dealer to have it looked it.
View 2 RepliesGolf/GTI VI :: City Lights Seems Dimmed After Installing LED Taillights
I had oem LED taillights installed to my car. Dealer coded the car to avoid error lights on dash. The problem is now the city lights under xenons look dimmed. Not as bright as before. I asked him why did it happen and he said that it's normal as it needs to balance the current flow to supply enough power to the LED taillights. I'm not satisfied with this answer though.
View 3 RepliesGolf/GTI VII :: Wiring LED Taillights Without Signal Flash When Braking
Since the first time I saw the OEM LED taillights I knew I wanted them and I knew I didn't want that turn signal glitch when braking. There is, of course, the option to wire the LED tails the OEM "proper" way, but I wasn't interested in running multiple wires from front to back so I came up with another way.
All of the wiring to make these work without error* (This method will make the inner LEDs work as brake and Running lights, opposed to just running lights) is confined to the hatch and outer taillight areas.
The main thing that I knew I had to avoid was using the current Pin 1 wire to power the Pin 3 turn signals. For some reason unknown to me the Pin 1 wire wants to be a brake light even after the brake light coding is removed from the adaption channels relating to the pin out. So if that wire wants to be a brake light so badly then that's what I would let it be.
The idea behind the wiring is to use the power from the running light on each side of the hatch to power the turn signal on that respective side (hatch and outer amber signals) and then re-power the inner running light by using a jumper from the outer taillight power.
Now some illustrations to clear that mess up:
The top portion of the picture shows the stock configuration and then the modifications take place in the lower section
And here is a quick video showing that the LED Tails are working. (When brakes are applied the turn signals don't flicker...) [URL] .....
Ford Aerostar :: 1993 - No Instrument Lights Or Taillights
'93 2wd, standard instrument panel. Headlights and brake lights work fine. No instrument lights or taillights. The problem, at least with the dash lights, seems to be intermittent. My son has told me the dash lights are out, but they worked when I drove it later. I rarely drive the van. Is this a problem with the headlight switch? I pulled all the fuses, and checked the bulbs in the taillights, and everything looked ok.

I have a 1994 Volvo 940 non turbo wagon. I just started having issues with the brakes lights and taillights not working. I have checked all the fuses visually and also did a continuity test on each one found all the fuses were good. I have replaced the all the relays, I have replaced the large red relay ( bulb failure relay ) and even did a continuity check on the bulb failure relay pins that are specifically for the rear brake light, everything checked out fine. I hesitate to change the brake light switch because the third brake light is working fine. I have considered replacing the headlight switch due to the taillights won't come on when the lights switch is on. My headlights do work though. There is no light on the dash indicating a bulb is out now since I replaced the third brake light bulb.

View 3 RepliesFord - Focus :: Taillights And Dashlights Out / Trunk Randomly Kept Popping Open As Driving
I drive a 2006 Ford Focus. Last night, when I turned on my car, a number of things happened. (I should add that it was very cold, if that makes a difference)
1) My dashlights no longer work. The warning lights work fine, and I have checked the dial to make sure they are turned up, but I can no longer see what speed I am going when it is dark.
2) My taillights no longer work. One of the bulbs had previously blown, but now, the only ones that work are the rear blinkers.
3) My left driver side headlight is no longer working.
4) My trunk randomly kept popping open as I was driving. It has stopped doing so, but I am not sure if the problem is gone for good.
The mechanic wants to charge me $100 / hr just to even check the problem and indicated the diagnostics may take several hours. Having just replaced two tires, that option is far beyond my means.
