Default LED TailLights

I am installing LED tail lights and cannot get the inner most bank on both tail lights to light up.

http://www.americanmuscle.com/2005-l...ht-smoked.html

I have tried reversing the connector polarity and still have the same symptom. I'm pretty sure its something I'm doing since both light act the same.

Brake, emergency flashers, and turn signals work just the two outer banks.

Any suggestions?

I had the same problem with my sequential taillights. I had to end up ordering a new kit from AM. The problem is that if one is bad, the other one will be bad too because of the circuit.

But, I do know that only the innermost bank works on my flashers, but the stock never lit up the innermost bank flashers or not. There might not be a problem at all......They only light up when the lights are on, but never get brighter if you hit the brakes or blinkers.

I think you may have hit upon the answer. I do not have headlights and if they are in circuit with the inner most taillights that could cause my problem. Thanks!

Maybe...but I had them base coat/clear coat smoked and I think they look just fine!
