Hey guys, I bought a set of all clear 5th gen tails, and they worked fine all day (and so did my cruise control). I just got the LED bulbs that I ordered in the mail today, and put them in tonight. They are working fine with no problems, but now I can't use my cruise control. If I press the cruise control ON button, the light comes on, but when I press SET, nothing happens. I'm pretty sure it can't be a fuse, because if it were the cruise wouldn't even come on. Actually... I can't even find a label on the fuse panel that is for cruise control. If anyone has ran into this, please let me know. I NEED MY CRUISE! Thanks!

 

Ok... no one can help me out lol. I have an update, if this gives you any ideas. If I turn cruise on, the SET light will continuously flash, until I press SET... but then the light just stays off. It never sets. My dad thinks that it's the cars way of telling me that my tails are bad, since the LED's are such a low voltage, that it doesn't know that I even have bulbs plugged in Surely someone on here has LED taillight bulbs... there has to be a way around this!

 

the bulb indicator goes on for the bulbs
looks like a fuse and the cruise is tellin you to fix it
just go through each fuse and see if any are blown

 

Ok... I'll try that today

 

its the car telling you that you shouldnt have bought those taillights (for many reasons)

 

Nah... that can't be it. The cruise worked fine with the new tails and filament bulbs

 

I have clear taillights with LEDs for over a year and never had any problem.

 

No hes serious.

 

did you try swapping in the old bulbs? Does the cruise still do the same thing?

 

Ok, here's my .02 Let me know if this doesnt make sense.

Maybe those tails use to much power and the cruise is thinking the brakes are being applied? Does the cruise work just off a stand alone switch near the brake pedal, or is it tied into the brake lights?

 

there's a switch near the brake pedal (and clutch pedal on 5 and 6speeds) so that wouldn't be it...it could just be a freak accident and something went wrong with the cruise control right after he switched the bulbs..

 

I didn't get any time today to mess with it... so i'll try swapping bulbs and checking fuses tomorrow. Thanks for your help.
