LED Tail light install question
 
I purchased a set of LED tails from the ebay seller other people have purchased from on here. It was my understand that the set is plug & play, however when i turn on the lights only the flashers work. Am I missing something? Did I need to purchase new bulbs or anything?

Also is there a way to take out the subwoofer from the rear so it'll make changing the passenger side taillight easier?

Thanks Guys

By flashers do you mean signal light? if you do i believe the ones you order from ebay dnot come with any Signal lights but they come with Bulbs to the tail gate lights. just double check if everything is properly there

yes by flasher I mean indicators. what's weird is the brake lights and the reverse lights work fine. It's only the parking lights that don't light up

Check Lighwerks
 
Dude, you need to check Lightwerks out. The guys are great and the instruction is so easy. Heck! It's a steal for $30.00.

Do it. You will be happy.

Capacitors to regulate the current powering the LEDs. Otherwise there may be a flicker in the lights. Not all X5s need them...mostly facelift 04-06 because of the change to adaptive brake lights.

I visited Lightwerkz today and the owner installed the capacitors for me. Everything works great. Great service, cool bunch of guys. Definitely recommend this vendor he's been very helpful throughout this entire process! Thanks!
