Compatibility Issues Between Flush Mount Taillights and Bumper Reverse Lights?

[JP29]

Hi guys, I'm having intermittent issues with these two items. My Jeep is a sport model that originally came with halogens, so not sure if there's any issue between them. The flush tails have been flawless, I did initially install them with the resistors. When I installed the bumper reverse lights, I noticed sometimes the bumper reverse LEDs and also the drivers side reverse in the tail light stop working. Is this a common or known issue?

Check your connections. I tied the 2 bumper lights together then just stripped the driver side reverse light wire, folded it into a crimp, then added the bumper lights. I didn’t cut the wire. Never an issue with halogen lights and lED bumper lights. I also add de-ox to all crimps to help with corrosion. It’s an electrical lube/ corrosion inhibitor we use on service cables in meter sockets.

I've given them a solid twice over, all connections use factory style plugs except for the bumper back up lights - those have spade connectors that tie into an adapter on the left driver's tail. Worst case I could remove the bumper to get at them and check the lights themselves, but a bit of a pain so figured I'd ask around.

Possible the resister isn’t sized to handle all 3 lights. you have 2 extra lights on one of the resisters. Can you split the bumper lights to each side reverse light to lessen the load?

If I remember right the bumper lights are interconnected, right side to left and then left side to driver tail. Didn't appear to be an easy way to split, but I might need to look. I tried disconnecting first one and then both of the tail light resistors, but didn't appear to have a positive affect.

Well, this is what Jscan is telling me - care to comment @ORACLElights ?
