before you installed the capacitor did you continue to get the check tail lights error message on your dash because of the pulsing? just curious if the capacitor will fix this issue i hate warning lights.

yes capacitor should fix all issues for led tail lights.
i never tried without capacitors cus i didn't want any issues with my tail lights so i put the capacitor on the tail lights before i installed them on my truck.
They are not spacial type of capacitors you can pick them up from radio shock or any electronic shop for less then $1 i found this out after paying $40 US. i will try to post pictures and part # to help ppl with this issue.

I dont mind paying lightwerkz since he's gonna install them for me anyway and he's been helpful with all my questions. I'm glad to hear it should fix the error message. Thanks!

Before you ordered I even told you I would tell you how to install it and what you needed, for free.


Did anyone say they were "special" capacitors? A capacitor is a capacitor, you just need the right type. Sure, its a fairly inexpensive item, but lets not forget that unless you have access to a soldering iron, heat shrink, wire taps, wire, and various connectors, you wont be able to get those capacitors installed.

The capacitors we offer come with instructions and are fully plug and play, and as always we have after sales support.

Im not in the business of ripping anyone off, just didnt want others to get the wrong idea of your post.

Having seen Lightwerkz setup it's very worth the price he's asking. Everything is setup in advance so installation is a breeze, and it works perfectly!
