Default Rear LEDs lights, problem on one side

Hi all,

I've just installed my rear LEDs lights and the left one has the brake light lit as well as the LEDs and the LEDs are flickering slightly

Anyone know what's wrong ?

Thanks
Pete.

Ni idea why the pic is upside down, sorry.

Hi

Check the wiring inside the new light is connected correctly. There is a plug type connector inside middle bit. Make sure it is pushed home correctly. Mine fine after that.

if this doesn't work i got a inline resistor and added it between the plug and the LED ring ive done this a few times now seems to cure the problem

I think there must be a dodgy connection because of the flickering LEDs

I'll remove both and electrically compare the good with the bad.
