Hello, I have been modifying my H3 from paining the wheels and under carriage, new sound system and lighting and other little mods. The problem started when i swapped my reverse lights out for super bright LED (which are really bright and much better than stock) and when i did this my passenger brake light housing burnt out (not the bulb, the socket), I tried different bulbs that i knew worked but nothing , and now my license plate light is not working. I just bought a new socket for the license plate but that did nothing... Does anyone have any idea? Thanks guys!

Do you have a multimeter to check dc voltage & grounds at the sockets? Did you check ALL related fuses to the tail lights?

 

That's a good idea. I will check dc voltage, I need to find the right fuse. It's not listed in the fuse box

 

Possibly the wiring for the tail light and tow assem. is shorting out?

backup? reverse?

backup lights are not connected to brake lites. wonder what you actually did?
a good approach is to try to go back to the original wiring b4 you messed with it.
like system restore.
these problems solutions usually lie where the last work was done b4 the shtf!
btw, the light wiring while it should be ez to understand, is not. check the diagrams..
