out the ignition the side lights stay on :-/ also the passenger side indicator is ravin mad! now theres 5 plugs on the new lights only one that my loom fits and they say plug and play?! am i doin somethin wrong or faulty lights?? need to no before i start shoutin my mouth off to the seller!!

could be one of the earths :undecided:
-
there brand new aparantley?? :huh: plus i put
my old bulb carriers back in everythings hunky dorey everytime i get
out the car i have to unplug the rear lights otherwise battry dies!!! :(

strange one this, as there shouldnt be any power to the lights when the light switch is off. I know that if your indicator stalk is up(or down) this powers up the corresponding rear light as a parking light, but doubt thats the issue :undecided:
-
thats what i thought???? but the rear o the lights are all rewired so i reckon some tit has put something in the wrong place.. like i say theyre sposed to be plug and play and thats the only plug that fits my loom thenothers are just left dangling down :-/

I thought with the LED versions you need to use the bulb holders they come with due to resistance etc

OP take pics of the new and old bulb carriers and post on here :wink:
