I've been searching, but all I could find was something about adding a capcacitor to handle the irregular power to the LEDs on 04-06s. Does anyone know the definitive fix for this and where this "capacitor" goes on the taillight setup?

Just keep an eye on the tails...I have the smoked ones from Zomkspeed and I had to fix them as they would not light up properly under braking...

Do you have to add a capacitor so it doesn't throw off error codes?

I'm not sure if Zoom would know, but I bought my capacitors from Lightwerkz (he's a member on this forum). His kit has instructions to place them on the LED light wire side...not the factory wire harness side.

I bought mine from GT Racers on eBay.

I bought the capacitor as well and it just connected to the existing factory wiring and tucked into that corner easily. It's about 6" long. Mine have been on since October of last year and hadn't had an issue yet.
