can anyone tell me why a 3157 led tail light bulb blew my fuse when i tried to use my blinker ? is there a module or something i have to use, or are they not dual filament(sp?). i have clear lenses on my car and i like the way they look, just not the red bulb. too many people ask me why i have euros and its starting to make me mad.

The 2 outside lights are dual filaments, the inside lights (w/ reverse under) and single filament.

I think your having some kind of shorts on the bulb connection. LED's use less current than regular light bulbs; so it's not a power problem.

Now can you please get rid of the ricer white lights.

you need to addd resistors. If there aren't any connected you'll blow a fuse... also make sure there's no bare wire showing.
