I used Novsight H LEDs (6000 lumens per bulb), I got for $59.99 CAD on Amazon and they work great. One resistor for each dual function bulb, attached as close to the socket as possible, and you can't go wrong. At that connection, a green wire from the tail light harness could connect to a blue wire on the main body wire harness. All the bulb sockets lead back to a single connector, where it then plugs into the main body wire harness near the backseat and it continues on to the front of the vehicle. What I mean is, the wire harness for the tail lights, reverse lights, etc, is a separate harness from the main body wire harness that goes to the front. What you thought was a signal wire could actually be a ground wire, or a wire for another function, causing a mixed signal, at the point you made the connection. If you've connected the resistors further back into the system, and/or tried to use 1 resistor for more than 1 bulb, that could cause the camera to stay on and your reverse lights to dim, as the wire colours often change. ![]() (this wire usually has faint stripes, like a candy came). One end attaches to the negative (black wire) the other goes to the coloured wire that sends current to the part of the bulb that flashes (signal light), or turns on (brake light). (I did mine about 3 inches down from the bulb socket). Make sure you connect both leads to the wire harness that is closest to the bulb socket. ![]() It could be as simple as the wrong polarity. First of all, pull each bulb out, turn it around and reinsert it. Lights with a single function, such as a reverse light, usually don't require a resistor, however lights with a dual function, (marker/signal light, or brake/tail light), will require a resistor. ![]() I have a 2016 GMC Canyon and just did the same, inside and out.
