Brake light led

sirgus · 08-23-2008, 01:11 AM

I bought the Putco Pure 360 7443 red color bulbs for my brake light replacement. I've used other LED 7443 bulbs in the past with zero problems. However these bulbs are causing the center brake light to come on when I turn on the parking lights/headlights. I'm confused as to why the center brake light comes on when the parking light/headlights comes on. If this is a load issue? I don't know what to load down the brake part or the non brake? Anyone have similar experience?

I'm going to try installing a load across the brake light wires to see if that fixes it. I'll get to it Friday.

Update these brake light LEDS might have an issue. I have connected the load resistor across the brake light wires and fixed my center brake light issue. However the running lights will not come on. So Putco Pure 360 7443 LED have some other issue or they need some other alteration in order to work.

I highly recommend the Putco Pure 360 7440 amber LED for your rear turn signal. They are very bright and work pretty good with the stock lens.
