Hi there I'm interested in diagram for led tail lights. I read all your posts but I'm not able still to connect those 50 w resistors right. Everything is blinking and not working right. I trying to connect resistors to wires you show on diagram. But can't understand which one where.
There is 5 wires connector. Please help me , thank you

I realize that the main 10 LED is on all the time and it get brighter when I press the brake. strange.. didn't think LED did that. I have to modify my wiring. The OEM 2010 LED tails only have the horizontal LED bar on at taillight.
I end up cutting the 10 Main LED wire and attached it to the 3rd brake light. Leaving the resistor in place to act as phantom light bulbs.
Here is a crude wiring diagram. Please let me know if there is a better way.

The bulb use was a wedge bulb for license plate lamp.

Update. I end up using a small wattage filament type bulb and socket instead of the resistor. Resistors generate too much heat didn't like the idea of a hot chunk of tin in the back of my car when im driving at light with the light always on. a small bulb hardly generate any heat at all.
