I just installed V-Leds for my Brake Light, would that be the problem?

You can simply remove the brake light bulbs and press on the brake pedal again and see if the running lights illuminate.

Rule of thumb:

Anytime you install any item and then notice problems with similar systems always check what you did last FIRST. In this case you put in bulbs and now have light issues... First place to look is the bulbs you installed.

Well why would V-Leds sell bulbs like that if they are going to mess it up?

And can anyone recommend a Brake Light from V-Leds that WON'T make that happen? lol.
