LED reverse light failed
 
First time posting but I am always searching on here.

I just tried to install LED reverse light and they did not work. I replaced all the stock parts and now my car is showing a list of problems....

1. check engine light
2. red triangle light
3. it says "check VSC"
4. violently shifts into drive
5. only driver side window works
6. reverse lights don't work
7. back up camera does not come on

Does anyone know what is happening?

I intalled LED's into my reverse lights and they didnt work at first, but then i did this. I recommend turning on the battery put your parking brake on and going into reverse so that your stock blubs light up. Then try to replace one at a time and when putting in the LED you have to mess arround with it. Try wiggleing it arround and pushing down with light pressure, basically just mess arround with it. As for your "problems" try disconnecting your battery and wait 5-10 mins so your computer resets and try and see if that works.

You should check your fuse.
As for window, you need to re-program it every time you reset your ECU. It's simple and take you no longer than 5 mins. Roll your window down a little bit, then roll them up keep holding for extra 3-5 seconds. You good to go!!!

yeah #1-3(^stated above as well) sounds like it can be cleared by just disconnecting the negative for a bit, #4 not really sure about that, dont really know how changing a bulb could affect that, #5& 6^ as stated above

Did you try switching the polarity of the LED bulbs? ie. pull the bulbs out and turn them 180 degrees and plug them back in.

Are you sure you were messing around with just the reverse light bulb? Those should just unplug out of the rear light and switching the bulb out is a straight process. What did you mess with?

your car is possessed! quick! sell me your car for $1k! friends don't let friends drive "unsafe" cars. lol j/k i'd check fuse and what not as well.. have you messed around with the led's like switching it around (polarity wise), could possibly be a bad bulb, or an ex-gf issue lol

Installed mine 1 month ago and no issues. I even did it on a running engine with lights turned on. Most likely you shorted something out
