I'd say that there's something wrong with your wiring or maybe you've got a blown fuse. LEDs are usually in parallel, so if one goes out the rest are still working.

I'm not familiar with this specific wing brake light, but putting something as a row of LEDs, used as a brake indicator, in series would be just dumb... -------------------- |

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...

well i had a blank case, however, i bought a cheap led strip from ebay. and shoved it in, sealed it with silicone. u can do the same, except pull the old led strip out.... these things new cost about 400. I paid 10 bucks for cheap led

They are wired either in parallel( for a few large LEDs) or both series and parallel for arrays with a lot of LEDs. Most importantly each LED consumes 2-4 volts of electricity so at 12 volts you cant run more than 3 - 5 leds in series before they start running out of power. Mine has 97 leds, it has 39 circuits( composed of 2 - 3 leds in SERIES) connected in parallel across a common power and ground. Notice the small blue resistors are for the vertical rows of 3 leds in series and the large tan resistors are for the short 2 led circuits in between.

I kindof got mixed up, I use both just like BMW, I do parallel rows of about 3 leds in series, but ive used just parallel, too like on the cluster of my GT, and on the turn signals of my ST and they lasted as long as I had the car(over 2 years) and not a single one burnt  , but I used both like I said on the dome lights of my MR2, it just depends if Im making a strip, or a square/similar shape.QUOTE (Special_Edy @ Apr 26, 2013 - 8:10 AM) QUOTE (Nihil @ Apr 24, 2013 - 3:58 PM) QUOTE (TheCreatorOf @ Apr 24, 2013 - 11:42 AM) QUOTE (Nihil @ Apr 9, 2013 - 2:27 AM) I'd say that there's something wrong with your wiring or maybe you've got a blown fuse.
