I bought the LED 3157 tail ligihts for my car to replace my bulbs and i put them in and all of a sudden they went off. I put back the original bulbs and they didnt work. So i have no tail lights at all. I also notice my front blinkers dont come on with the headlights they just blink and my car wont come out of park? Thanks

you blew your parking lamp fuse...

check behind the coin holder on the driver side left knee... their should be fuses their.. replace the one you blew and you should be fine..

Ok i did that but it seems like i have a bigger problem. I got all the lights back to working condition but now i my brake lights dont come on. When i hit my brakes the led spoiler comes on but thats it. I think i shorted a wire. How can i find which wire, im in need of big help. Im probably better off buying the whole harness. Please try and help.

Is that with the LEDs still in?? some LEDs dont have a resistor and wont come on when you hit the brake... just put in your stock bulbs to save the headache

there are SOME LEDs out there that has the capability to be used as a brake light and parking light... just gotta search... i know sumone who had em, but ill let him come forward himself....

No i took them out and now the regular lights wont light up when i hit the brake, tho they do light up with normal lights on. The only brake light i have right now is the spoiler. I think i really did short a wire. The problem is finding it. Maybe i should disconnect the whole harness, remove all the tape and find the wire. What do you guys think.

Buy new bulbs?

Maybe you blew out the high filaments in the brake bulbs somewhere between all this.

for a quick test, go ahead and swap your oem brake light bulbs with your turn signal bulbs... they are the same size, if the turn signals work in the brake light, then you know you blew your oem brake bulbs... if the turn signal bulbs dont work in the brake light base when braking then its a wiring issue

hope that wasnt confusing

Well i was being a retard. First i put the leds in while the lights were on and all of a sudden the hole back shut off (lights). I had no clue about the fuse behind the coin holder since i have no book, so i was going crazy trying to find out what happened. So i replaced the fuses and it all worked again until i hit the brake with the leds in and it blew the fuse again. So this morining i was going crazy to find what happened and i looked at that purple box and what do you know? I blew a solder. Alls back to normal now and i returned the leds. I also changed the gauge cluster lights to red instead of blue.
