hunter_.b · May 2, 2015

I had some lights built by plain an simple and while hooking them up I have run into this turn sing also work both driver and passenger side But as soon as the parking lights come on they quit period. I have no clue , hopefully one of you has a fix https://vimeo.com/126703707

Supposed to read turn signals only work when parking lights are not on

So how is that going to work if the lights are on? Cuz the park lights are on when the headlights are on.

That's just it they don't looking for a solution

Led? Or a single element bulb?

Led on the turn signal

It's just a three wire system should be simple. Ground - turn & park stock ones and recons work fine ?ineven switched them and Made the parking light the turn signal and vise versa same result

Could it be the LEDs themselves?

That's what I'm wondering but then I wonder why would they work with the parking lights off?

Where did you get the light kit from?

ftast350 · May 3, 2015

They could be a "single element" kind of deal? The flash doesnt look any brighter than the park light.

Just call Plain and Simple tomorrow and ask them. I'm sure they'll know right away.....

truckman1974 · May 3, 2015

Or email them and give them the link to your video. That'll help also...

Robert at plain an simple built them

truckman1974 · May 3, 2015

Have you tried to contact him and explain the issue?

hunter_.b · May 3, 2015

I sent him the video but he doesn't work weekends im guessing ,so hopefully he will have a answer for me tomorrow

hunter_.b · May 4, 2015

Well he is clueless So if anyone has anymore I put it would be greatly appreciated

Surely he can help you trouble shoot them somehow. Since it's his product, that he built. They don't come plug and play?

truckman1974 · May 4, 2015

^^WHS......if the guy can't help you troubleshoot his own work, then that's bad for business. I can't imagine him wanting that reputation. Did you talk to him about it and show him the video??

Something is wrong with the bulbs. Did the builder supply the bulbs? Sometimes the little pins on the bottom need to be bent the opposite ways or the new trucks are using the old school wiring style because the bulbs in my obs do the same exact thing and to correct it you need the ck style bulbs. Although I don't think that's the case I think the bulbs maybe just be faulty. The builder should definitely help you out because I know those weren't cheap to buy but if he doesn't want to help I would box them up and send them back to him.
