    Ordered some taillights for my truck a while ago from aplharex. Went to install them today, and I’m getting the fast blinking turn signal as if a bulb is out. I’ve done some more digging, and it seems like upgraded lights only work on trucks with incandescent bulbs from the factory. Can anyone tell me why, and is there a fix to make the lights work?

    I have the stock led housings, and I’m trying to put in aftermarket led housings from alpharex, but the turn signal doesn’t seem to like the resistance inside of the new housing.

    You will likely need to install resistors with your new LED tail lights. It's an EZ install.
