I matched the wire colors coming from the car and the ones behind the lights. its really easy. The way it was working first was my signal was changed to break light, so when i push my breaks, the signal bulb would turn on, thats how i realized they must have been installed on the wrong side. simply took them out switched them around and all was good.

Those tails from Sprinter are not LED - if you look closely, they have sockets to insert bulbs. I recently looked at the tails on eBay and liked the look of the Sprinters (may have been another vendor), but the description did not say "LED"

Not Yet...

Yesterday received a return label to send "Zomk's lights" back & today I am getting "GT-Racers" Led Lights. They suppose to be Sonar lights. Hopefully I will have more luck with them - if not I will keep the old lights and move to the next mod - OEM "running boards"

Will let you know as soon as I try the new lights. Hopefully today.

Just wanted to let you know guys that my Led Lights are fine now
thanks to LightWerkz

Capacitors he provided worked like a charm- no more flickering on my 03 4.4
The lights actually look brighter now at idle. Awesome job and it took only 10-15 min to install them. Anyone considering these - do not hesitate, Led Lights look great

Now go out and take some pictures of them!

As always, glad I could help you. The lights are definitely brighter at idle now too

Capacitor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Think of it like a little battery.

It basically stores energy and makes the LED tails operate as they should instantaneously, not flickering, or pulsing.
