I recently decided to upgrade my exterior lights with LED as many of us have done. I have a 2000 XJ and went with LED bulbs from superbrightleds.com for the front. The rears are also from the same site, however I am using JCR's tail light boxes and therefore I had to use trailer style lights for the rear (oval tail/brake light, one 2" round red, and one 2.5" round amber for each side). I also put an LED bulb in the third brake light. The problem Im having is that after installing the front LED bulbs and working on the wiring for the rear, I cant seem to get things to work right. The hazards are acting up, whereas the third brake light and even fog lights will flash. The turn signals are acting strange also, one of the signals indicators on the dash will remain solid on, the brake lights dont work, and everything is just generally FUBAR. I bench tested all the bulbs/lights and replaced the factory flasher relay with an electronic one from AutoZone which says LED on it (meaning its designed to work without a standard load). Im kinda puzzled; and because things arnt working as they are meant, I cant properly wire my tail lights in. Has anyone dealt with this or have any ideas what I may have missed? Thanks.
