Guys I really need your help!

As you've solved the problem with the taillights?

When I come to the installation of the rear lights as soon as I release the brakes several error messages on the display.

Need a solution for this problem?

Best regards m0uz

'08 or newer? As stated...install a resistor on both taillights. Should eliminate codes.

'07 Lexus I have.

What kind of resistance I have to install the?

And between which of the veins? Between green and white or between green and black and between white and black?

Perhaps you have a picture like you did it?

But ever thank you for your reply.

best regards m0uz

redline201 told me that he used 25 watt 6.2 ohm resistors (I'm not sure how many on each side though), while tapping into the white and black wires. I'm going to go to RadioShack tomorrow and see if I can finally solve my problem

Thank you hoovey2411,

If you were with redline201 and you have solved your problem, you can still talk like redline201 attributed the problem solved?

THANK YOU

eagle eyes on the left side and 07 oem connector on the right hand side.. the eagle eyes connecter is too small to fit..

person I bought it from said it was plug and play.. anyone else have pictures of your harness, or any other work-around. I don't want to split wires..

PS: I may just end up running ebay tails inner and oem outers..

So I tapped into the black and white wires and added a resistor to each as others have done. Installed them into the Eagle Eyes and the car is STILL throwing codes. I've about had it with these taillights and dunno what to do next. Any suggestions? I might have to scrap these and get some 2011 if I can't fix this..

Sorry, had to bring up an old thread. Has the code error been solved? I'm looking forward to the led tails shortly, but afraid of the codes it'll throw

bringing this back from the grave..............



I purchased the eagle LED taillights for my wifes ISX50, and I am having the same problem. my thoughts on the matter are "why not re-pin the connectors? remove the clips from the oem taillights and LED tails and swap them. My only problem is removing the oem clips. It seriously kicking my Xss. Any tips or suggestion? if I can get the oem clips of the new LED wires should plug right into it......right????????

I'm interested in these. Wondering if "new" ones on ebay have been revised so they don't throw out any more codes. I have a 2008 BTW
