LED tail lights issue
So i installed a set of radio flyer LED Halo tails and noticed some weird behavior.
1. When i turn the flashers on they work fine. When i turn the halos on with the flashers then i get these weird sequence where one tail light flashes normal with the halo On and the other tail light just the halo flashes. This happens on both sides. Same when using the turn signal with the halos on. One flashes normal, one just the halo.
2. When pressing the brakes with the Halos on just one tail light per side work the other ones dont light up at all (no LEDs no halo).
It seems the issues are there when i turn On the driving lights/Halos.
Any idea what could be wrong?

I agree about reversing/flipping the connector plug. You didn't mention (or I overlooked it), installing a hyperflash harness. I had some of these same issues until I installed my Hyperflash.
Good luck with your fix.

I had an issue when I first installed mine also. He informed me that before you plug any of the lights in, you have to have the light switch turned on. Then plug them all in and make sure they are working. I have had no issues once I found that out.
