FRENCHBLUE72 · 04-18-2004, 08:10 PM

I just installed some l.e.d. front turn signal's behind the grill on my blazer and am having a problem with the light's staying on with the headlight's... How can I rememdy this problem it really is bugging me.. B.T.W the l.e.d.'s are just little trailer light's... Also I do have the electronic flasher too.. Any help would be great...

How did you connect them?

Just making sure I'm reading this right, the parking lights turn off when the head lights tun on, right? And it did not do this before?
A 67 would do that, but I can't see why a 72 would, you checked your grounds already?

FRENCHBLUE72 · 04-20-2004, 08:20 AM

The l.ed. 's are on when the light switch is on... I t don't matter if I have it set on parking light's or headlight's.... I would like the led to come on only when I use a turn signal and I double checked the ground's.... Thanks's guy's...

FRENCHBLUE72,
Are your LED's set up to run at two different intensities, either through a resistor/diode set-up or turning some of the LED's off for the dim/park light function? I guess the easiest way is to count the number of wires/hook-up points are on the assembly.
Good Luck!

You want to disable the parking light, and only have directionals...
Cut the brown wire.

Yep long horn that's what I would like to do... I will give that a shot after work and let ya guy's know what happen's..

FRENCHBLUE72 · 04-22-2004, 09:44 PM

All I have hooked up is the yellow wire and I still get light???

fatfords · 04-23-2004, 10:21 AM

FRENCHBLUE72,
Can you provide a litttle more detail about how you hooked up the lights originally? What color wire from the new LED's is spliced to what color wire in the original harness? Also, a little more detail on the "electronic flasher" as I have had to try a couple of different ones on my F-100 LED taillights, before I found one that worked.
Good Luck!

FRENCHBLUE72 · 04-23-2004, 08:15 PM

O.k. the flasher is a TRIDON ELECTROINIC FLASHER 12 VOLT

FRENCHBLUE72 · 04-23-2004, 08:19 PM

YELLOW GOES INTO THE BLUE AND THE BROWN IS NOT HOOKED UP .. THE LED HAD IT'S OWN GROUND...

THIS WIRING WILL BE HEAT SHRINKED AND CORRECT WHEN IT'S DONE
