Hey

ive installed led tail lights into my r34 today [ bday present from my gf ] but only the brake light works when i step the brake, the rest of the time they stay off, ive opened the fuse box and replaced the fuse but it keeps blowing. right now all my dash lights dont work along with my park lights.

has anyone else had this problem? i have put the stock 10 in but that blew so i tried 15 but it didnt last a second kept trying to the 25 and that last a second then it just blew. these tail lights are new and if i cant get them working tonight ill take it back to the store tomorrow

can someone please leave some input on how to resolve this or if your a auto sparky thats free on this crappy friday night i could really use your help

Thanks

lol @ the 25amp fuse. i hope it didnt melt the harness!

its blowing coz theres a short, a higher rated fuse wont help, and ur going from bulbs to leds so ur new tail lights will actually draw less current then your old ones. u'll never need anything higher then a 10amp

id help u out but im going to bed soon ive got work in the morning and ive still gotta find out if my car is a write off or repairable - yay for 3grand excess!

    • For a daily just run Akebono ceramic pads. That's what they're optimized for. Obviously don't try to run it on track or anything like that.
    • Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
