[QUOTE="Huachipato, post: 15917750, member: 22395"] There is an old thread where this happened... If I recall correctly - there taillights you installed are not keeping the park lights and brake lights isolated. So in other words, each time you hit the brakes, it is trying to use that circuit to power up the headlights and dash. I think it has to do with the bulbs expecting a common hot instead of a common ground that our cars have. The fix requires some modifying of the cables - to add some Diodes to keep the current from flowing to the wrong circuit (if you really want to do it the hard but cheap way anyways) or buying a set of LED bulbs that others have tested and found to work well with our cars. I should add, you can put the old bulbs back in just to make sure everything work properly and that the tail lights are in fact to blame for you issue. I think that is the jist of it... I have LEDs all around (not Raxiom) and have not had any issues. Taillights I use are Phillips Vision Red: [URL]https://amzn.to/2LEQyzb[/URL] Others use Osram without issue - and I think those are actually brighter. Here is another thread that might be helpful: [URL]https://www.svtperformance.com/forums/threads/brightest-led-taillight-bulbs.1133133/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
