    I installed my winjet tails and I followed the instructions Black wire to Black wire and the Runing light strip that should illuminate with headlights on does not do anything? Brake lights and turn signal work.

    I'm having the same problem with my tailights and can't seem to get the running lights going. I tested them by hooking them straight to the battery and they come on but plugging them my breaks, blinkers and revert work, just not the running lights.

    I’d stay away from them IMO

    I actually figured it out. You just have to make sure theyre plugged in correctly and up the amps on the fuses for the stop in the fuse box in the engine bay and then underneath the dash I swapped a 7.5 fuse for tail up to a 15. Everything is now working perfect.

    So
    Engine bay:
    STOP fuse-
    10 amp fuse-swapped- now 20 amp fuse

    Underneath dash:
    TAIL fuse-
    7.5 amp- swapped- now 15 another fuse

    I had all lights working except the running taillights until I upped the ampage in the TAIL fuse.
