tail light mods??

However, with the red led 1157 I do not have any running lights, just brake. Does anyone know WHY? And yes, I have the bulbs installed properly and have installed several different brands resulting in the same problem. thanks larry

I think the problem your having is that the running lights on the sides of the 1/4 panel use 1156s... the back lights are 1157s. or maybe I'm not readin you write.
