When does the clear/white part of the bumper light come on?

[T3rry]

they are wired up properly... if they weren't, my signals would not work... not sure if my DRL's ever worked, a si just got this truck a couple months back and never noticed... i'll have to take a multimeter to that circuit and see what's going on.

check the DRL fuse?

just checked the 10a drl fuse in the engine fuse panel, looks fine, i didn't have a fuse tester, but it didn't appear to be blown... I'll get out there with my multimeter, probably tomorrow, it's supposed to be nice, and it's a friday

oh ok, maybe I don't know how the LED lights work, I'm just going off of regular ones, that had separate wiring for the drl portion...my bad

 

[T3rry]

no, it just plugs in to the same sockets as the bulbs, so it should act the exact same as stock... that's why i am so confused.

now i am confused, i went out there and tested some stuff with my multimeter, and i get power at, and through the fuse, but not at the light socket...


the only thing i can think, is this truck was towed behind a motorhome or bus or something before i got it, because it's got a lights set up rigged up for the front (so the motorhome's lights go through the trucks lights), it's also got a spot cut out of the lower bumper plastic for a tow bar.

so i figure maybe they screwed up the wiring when they did that... i'll have to look deeper in to it when i have time/warmth.

I just got those LED bumper lights too, and kinda got the same problem as you.
The driving lights never turns on. I tried connecting the stock bulb on one side and led on the other, and the led wont work.
Also, how do you connect the blinker? The socket in the car is that round type, and the plug is flat like the drl's...

Only thing I got working on that LED bumper light was the corner light.

^^ what year is your truck? my blinkers have the blade style 3157 bulbs, as well as the running lights...

What's weird with mine is that even if i put the stock bulbs in the running light sockets, they don't work.

It's a 2004 Tahoe.

Here's some pix of the socket.

 

[T3rry]

wierd... mine are both 3157 sockets

great.. just my type of luck.
Any idea what I can do about it? :\
It's probably impossible to get stock sockets here..
