hmmm thats odd, maby the plug is backwards in the light socket? check to see if u ahve any blown fuses. are they both doing it?? if so put the stock bulb back into one of the sockets and see if it is working properly. could be a bad fuse or ground somewhere.

Not sure on the SRT, But there's like a kittle switch thing by the middle or top of the brake peddle, When you apply the brakes, It hits that switch and makes the brake lights come on, Could have a bad one. S*it, Can't rember what's it called....I've replaced them in Chevy's before.

none of the brake lights work.. not even the trunk light so i have no idea. i checked some of the fuses that were possibilites but i'm not sure which one is for the actual brake lights themselves.. it doesn't say on any of the fuse legends on the panels

Default I Had The same problem

Hey I had those same lights and it did the same exact thing. Had a SRT tech look at it and had it narrowed down to the circuit board in the light went bad so I just got rid of them and went back to stock. plus I didn't buy them so i guess no lose really. but I did like the way they looked.

I was thinking about getting a set of these. Now I am kind of hesitant. Do you get water in the taillights by any chance and thats what cause this?

Just curious.......now I dont want to buy them

I am pretty sure no water got in them. Today at work we put the stock bulbs back in and same deal. Signals, but no brake lights.

It must be a issue with his car.
