LED Lights Won't Work With Incandescent Clearance Marker Lights
Question:
Bought a set of LED marker lights. Two wires in-two wires out. First replacement was 3rd in line out of 5 lights. The 4 old style lights came on. The LED did not?

Expert Reply:
The issue is the different power draws from LED and incandescent lights; it can cause the LED light not to work as the voltage difference between the two hampers the connectivity. To remedy this you will need to install all LED marker or clearance lights.
I couldn't find your order to determine the LED you purchased from us initially, so you will need to choose from the size you need like the 4" long x 2-1/16" tall Red Optronics LED Clearance or Side Marker Light # MCL31RB or the 2-1/2" long x 1-1/16" tall Amber Optronics LED Mini Clearance or Side Marker Trailer Light # MCL13A2B.
I have added a link below to our entire selection of LED clearance lights for you to check out.
