Quick Tailight situation

Ok I have a 2000 max..i switch my tailights to get the 03 tails because i had chrome wheels, now i have gunmetal 350Z wheels and now i just switched back with my homegirl that has an Anny Edition with the blacked out tails, when i switched the tails, her turn signal was blinking fast indicating that it was about to blow, so i went and bought a new turn bulb and put it in and it did the same thing, while the tails were in my car it didnt do that so the only thing i can think of is that maybe her wiring harness is bad, any ideas or thoughts???

he didnt fgure out the problem yet. Said he realized it could be the front but later found out the front is fine.


I say just bust a left side one so they both sound like that and you are fine.

ok so if both are blinking fast and i changed the rear, do you think that maybe the front is going bad and causing both to blink??

Turn on the 4 way hazard flashers and walk around the car and see if both fronts are the same brightness and that both rears are the same brightness. Best to do this in the evening or in a garage, not bright sunlight. If you have a brightness difference, that's where you start looking. Double check that you have the dual element 1157 bulb in the brake/stop light socket and not a single element back up light bulb.
