    alright. I’m trying to install the smoked 3rd gen spyder tail lights on my 2019. Apparently I can’t figure out the right way to connect them, keep blowing fuses.

    Anyone who has installed could maybe send some pics of how they are hooked up properly? Do I need new relays since the turn signal and brake light are LED?

    Would really like to get these installed

    I have these on my 2017 and love them. They are just plug and play for me. I didn’t need to do anything extra like a relay

    I just keep putting the connector in the wrong way I guess? I was really busy today and impatient with it. I’ll try it again tomorrow.

    Ya let me know how it goes. You could’ve gotten a defective set too. That happened to me my first set!

    Can you take a picture of your connectors? I think I just need to see the bottom
    Connector.

    I really hope it’s not a bad set. I already had these corrected to get all the small scratches off of them

    It’s honestly pretty frustrating the instruction are really poor for something that can mess things up pretty easy. And be specific to a tundra.

    I’ve never had this much trouble with lights before.

    More than likely it's that you're getting one of the connections reversed.
