Default Need help!! no turn signal on LED upgrade

I installed the tail ights and the ECU. Unfortunately, the tail lights don't work for turn signals. They work for braking and then you turn the car on, but other than that no turn signal! further, the front head lights blink extremely fast when the turn signal is on. I'm baffled. Any ideas anyone?

Great write up! I have a question though. Hopefully someone can chime in with an answer. I need to remove the tail lights to put sound deadener behind them, getting some rattles from the new trunk subwoofer. I do not need to disconnect the harness, so do I really need to remove all the trunk liners? Or only the "single bolt" at the trunk lid trim? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Shawn, no you don't. The clip/and bolt on the boarder of the lens holds it in place, along with pins to align the taillight to keep it in place.

I just ordered error free, no resistor tail/brake light and turn signal LED's from ijdmtoy dot com. Once I install them and confirm that there is no dash error light, I will report back. Another member also did an awesome mod using angel eyes... something to think about.

Shawn, can you link to what you bought? I need turn signals LEDs to go with the angel eyes when I do them, I still have the incandescent bulbs there...

I went with the following:
Front Turn Signals- http://store.ijdmtoy.com/Error-Free-...s-p/20-009.htm

Rear Turn Signals (HAD TO ALTER BULB & HOUSING, VERY TIGHT SQUEEZE; wish I had gone another route in hindsight) http://www.ebay.com/itm/121132898510?_trksid=p2060778.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
Tail/Stop light- http://store.ijdmtoy.com/7443-7444-T...s-p/20-012.htm

Still waiting on my bulbs to arrive so can't guarantee that they will not cause a dash error light, at this time.
