LED TAIL PROBLEM

Hey Everyone!

I just got some LED Tails from ezkoncepts.com and I noticed a bulb was not lighting up on the drivers side. Anyone know what I should do? Here are some night pics. Thanks!

DRIVER SIDE


PASSENGER SIDE

Play with the connections. Sometimes you just have to disconnect and reconnect and it should work. It happened to me on one of the circles and I did that and it worked, and then it happened again while I was driving so I took them off and did what I just said above and then used electric tape to tape the connections up so that there would be no issues later

When I installed them I had alot of problems getting the passenger side tail to work. Played with the connectors and finally got it to work. But I've done everything possible to the drivers side and NOTHING! My sister has RUBY RED too and her small light is out too. IDK

Yea, for some reason, the Ruby Red LED tail lights have some issues. But like Vik said, you gotta just play with it. Here is a link that might help you out too: http://forums.maxima.org/6th-generat...look-here.html

For the record I have the ruby red tails. I got them when they had just come out, unless this is a problem with the newer batch? Speak to your seller maybe he can help you out. I know if you bought from Max2damax like I did, he will help you out.

you have to line the pins up correcly I just bent the wires out some on the LEDS because my right one would go black when I hit the brake but but after I did that it's
been working fine for months now

Maybe there are some loose wiring, or try the new IPCW tail lights because the Ruby Red LED tail lights have been causing problems for my cousin too.
