i just installed my led tail light s too, and they turned on fine. later they went off, i did check the fuse and found it had blown. i did replace it and now when i turn the head lights the led tail lights wont turn on, only if i press the brake pedal then they come on. any wisdom on how to fix this

I'd check the fuses again to make sure they're not blown. If that's not the cause, then recheck all of the connections and ensure they're plugged in all the way. Another question, did either of your taillights come with resistor packs?

I've never had that problem and I had 4 different sets of led tails in mine, never used the resistors either..
