    that's what I meant. The wires not the bulbs are plugged into the wrong spot.

    edit: I think. :confused:

    Each bulb, has a different connector size, won't be easy to switcharoo them.

    I got DIR mod, might be the issue.

    FWIW I use a DIR harness and taillight conversion harness without issue, although mine is the meso set that I bought before I knew better.
    Sorry it’s not as straightforward for you as many of us experienced! vLEDs are stand up guys though! They will take care of you if something is wrong. Still I understand the frustration of not having something work as intended!

    Just installed mine this afternoon, seem to be working.

    Plugs were stuck but back and forth got them loose.

    I just took mine apart for the pictures, your top running light still has the factory wiring, all factory wiring should be plugged into part of the vtail harness...

    Let me know if you need anymore pics before I put it back together...

    I think I figured it out. My top bulb goes blinky blinky, not middle bulb, switched a couple wires, and bam! User error.

    Thank you sir and you are most welcome, I did notice your hyper flash on the right turn while in reverse, did you install both resister thingy's??


    Thank you for the kind words, much appreciated sir...


    Now if you gentlemen will excuse me for a moment, I need to put it back together... :rofl:

    Sorry for the delayed response. This is an Iceco JP50 Pro 51.7quart fridge. I'll have to measure the slide when I get home but I'm guessing it's 16 to 18 inches wide. It's a little big for my fridge but works just fine.

    Yes, I observed each twice before re-install.

    Thank you Dave.

    And, thank you @MGMDesertTaco !

    Your passenger side is still hyper flashing when signaling after shifting to reverse. Did you install the resistors on both driver and passenger sides?

    Yes. I remember double checking the connection before re-assembly, but I'm going to check it again tomorrow morning, it's too hot out there, and it's getting late by morning should be cool again.

    Looks like 2 of these bulbs were kapuey, and I didn't even know it. The VTails mod was timely.

    The list is growing.
    So do they work now?? I have the meso custom. My signals hyper flash when 4 ways are on and in reverse. Otherwise all is normal. But brighter, and safer
