    So to start off I'm slowly working towards a full led swap and hopefully soon some 18 Headlights.
    I bought some Sylvannia Zevo 3157R for my brake lights, and they work halfway. If I plug them in normally the brakr light will only function when the lights are turned on, and if I swap the bulbs polarity the brake light actually works when you press the brakes, but doesn't work if you turn the lights on.
    I'm not really sure what the problem is, and for reference I have returned them and bought new ones to no avail.
    Any Ideas?
