I've already googled it and the closest possible theory is a bad turn signal switch. So I recently installed the JW Speaker EVO J tail lights. One night sitting at a stop sign I noticed my rear signal wasn't flashing but the front was. I released the brakes and it started flashing again. Got home and verified the problem was on both sides but the front acted normal (no smartass remarks). I contacted JW Speaker but they won't help and told me to take the issue to the parts dealer. So I'm currently waiting on Northridge4x4 to respond. Helpful comments only. Anyone else can pound sand.

UPDATE: Same problem with the OE lights.

Still have the OEM tail lamps? Plug them back in and see if you have the same symptoms.

try double checking the installation of those resisters that are needed for those LED lights.

If that is truly their customer service, I know why I don't run, recommend or like their products. there are way better products out there.
