Spec-D LED tails installed, love them!

Ok, thanks for the insight.

More specifically, Normally in a vehicle, when one of your turn signal bulbs is out your blinkers blink really fast to let you know that one of the bulbs is out. LED lights draw such little voltage that it makes your truck think that one or both of the turn signal bulbs is out, hence the fast blink or "hyperflash".

So I found the fuse to the rear lights and it was blown. So I replaced it and as soon as I turned on the lights it blew again. Any ideas? Is there some sort of short?

Sounds like a short.
Check to make sure that one of the wires is not pinched when you installed them back on. Check all the connections.

Make sure you did not plug the lights in backwards at the connectors..

I will check that. Does it make any sense that the brake lights work and not the running lights?

You I just tried first putting the factory lights back on and they work fine. So it is something messed up with the spec d. Any ideas besides contacting them and hoping to be able to get my money back?

How do you know what is right. The stock bulbs can be plugged in any direction.

Match the black wires up on both

So I put the factory lights back in and replaced the fuse and they worked fine. Then I put the SpecD back in and they worked fine. Then after a few minutes the fuse blew and they quit working again. The fact that it takes time for the fuse to blow really confuses me. If it were a wire or something it should blow quick I would think. Any more thoughts?
