So my 'new' willys had some big square tail lights (just like modern TJ tail lights) and not liking how they looked I picked up a set of round LED tail lights that I think look much better.
However, I'm an electrical idiot. I always seem to mess up when it comes to electrical things, hah! And this time is no exception :-D
So the tail lights that were on the jeep used 3 wires. Red, Black, and White. And the wires on my new tail lights are also Red, Black, and White. The instructions state:
Black - Brake / Tail
Red - Turn
White - Ground
I put the lights on quick-connect male/female connectors (so they can be easilly removed, or switched around!) and connected them up to the same color wires. Well apparently that doesn't work.
With the lights turned off, I get no blinkers or brake lights. No light at all. With the lights turned on, all I get is blinkers. No constant light or brake light.
I DO have a volt meter with a bunch of different modes, but I honestly don't know where to start. Can anyone give me some advice? Anyone who lives near me willing to swing by (or I can drive to you, if it's not far) to give me a hand? I'm guessing for someone who knows electrical stuff, this is probably going to be super easy, hah!
Oh and yes, the old tail lights worked perfectly.
