It is very important to match the LED color to the taillight lens color.  Do not use the USA version Model 356 (featuring all red-color LEDs) behind an amber & red EURO-style tail light lens.  Similarly, do not use a Euro version Model 356 (with amber-color brake LEDs) behind an all red tail light lens.

 

The Model 356 is intended for use with the standard (original) single contact (BA15S) bayonet bulb sockets.  If your bulb sockets have been converted to dual-filament (BA15D) sockets we do not recommend using the Model 356 LED tail lamp without converting your taillight back to BA15S sockets.

 

Due to the very low current consumption of the Model 356 LED tail light, your installation may require an electronic turn signal flasher to cure an accelerated blinking rate of the turn-signals_*.  An accelerated blink rate may occur because the OEM turn signal flasher is designed to alert a driver to what it believes is a burned-out incandescent light bulb condition as evidenced by the reduced current consumption.  An electronic turn signal flasher is NOT included with your tail light purchase.

_*Note: With several units in the field, no user has yet reported the need to convert to an electronic flasher unit.  Empirical data is suggesting that the stock flasher unit will likely perform correctly.
 

The Model 356 is available for 6-volt negative ground electrical systems.  A 12-volt model is being considered.  Please contact us for 12-volt model information.

 

With proper load resistors a 6-volt model can be made to work in a 12-volt system.  Please email us for details.
