Issues with rear running lights after LED install.
Well, I installed some new LED tailight bulbs last night along with other miscellaneous LED bulbs throughout the car. I installed some 50w6Ohm resistors on all four bulbs to stop the hyper flash issue. But it seems I no longer have running lights. Last night I remember them working and then lighting up brighter as the second circuit got hot. The fuse is still good, I've checked that. Can anyone think of why all four would just stop working? It seems like since I put them back in the housing they just wanted to give up the ghost. I appreciate anyone's insight. Thank you!

What kind of LED tail lights are you using?
Are they complete tail light assemblies (Eagle Eyes) or just LED 'bulbs'?
If they are just the bulbs in OEM housings, they are polarized and have be plugged in correctly. Try reversing the bulb in the connector.

They're just bulbs. All functions other than running lights work, such as turn signals and brake lights. I'm gonna order some more bulbs and see if it isn't just a really bad coincidence that they all burned up at once.
