(UPDATE) LED Turn Signal Problem

[MVidal7]

I have a 2018 Sahara Unlimited JL. I bought it without the LED light package so it came with Halogens. I've recently upgraded to all LEDs and have run into a problem. When the lights are off, the turn signals work perfect. When I switch the lights on, all the lights come on (including the turn signal amber light) and stay on. The turn signal won't blink, it'll just constant. I've attached the videos. I'll also include the links the all the lights I bought. I think I could have messed up the wiring. I brought it to Jeep and they tried to program it and had no luck. They didn't even want to take it apart to see the wiring.

The HALO headlights plugged right into where the halogen lights plugged in. The HALOs included a red and yellow wire (link below) that is suppose to sync with the blinker lights. I tried to follow their installation guide, but they never showed how to wire tap them into the turn signal wires.

I also bought my 2018 without the LED package and added it later (although everything I added was the OEM Mopar stuff). Headlights, halos and taillights worked fine, but my blinkers and DRLs were doing all kinds of crazy stuff. I got a Tazer and changed the setting from Halogen to LED and everything worked fine from then on.

Thank you I'll look into that.

I used these with no problems when I had the same setup as you.

It's gotta be how you connected those red and yellow wires. For the halos, you could always tap into the fuse box. I have the Oracle switchback Halos and it had a separate harness that plugged into the fender light harness. So I'm guessing that might be a good place for you to start. I think I've seen other threads where people tap into that harness

Damn whatever brand that is really sucks at instructions. Check out this video about 1 minute in. He shows the plug, and one of the comments said the white and green worked for turn signals. I'm guessing white and brown is parking lights for the Halo's? The dude doesn't even tell you. I'd suggest not going with off brand parts and checking install videos before purchasing. I've been through similar problems many times

Hopefully this helps!

(UPDATE) I disconnected the HALOs from the turn signal by removing the t-tap connectors and the blinkers now work with and without the lights on. I've included new pictures on how it was wired. Not sure why I paired the wires I paired, but it was definitely wrong. When I still had the t-tap connector on and the HALOs weren't connected, the lights still didn't work. So the problem was the t-tap connecting the yellow and green wire, and the white and brown wire. So that being said, does anyone know what wires from the turn signal (yellow, green, brown, white) connect to the HALO wires (red, yellow)?

Why are you tapping into two wires on each?
You should only have to tap into 1. Green is usually ground so you don't want that. I have the same turn signals, I would check the instructions, it might tell you which is turn and which is parking lights.

Definitely could have been avoided if I knew what I was doing. I finally got everything to work as expected by connecting the HALOs yellow wire to the turn signals green wire, and the HALOs red wire to the brown. I tried yellow to yellow first, but had no luck.

Awesome, thanks for the update. Hopefully if someone else has this problem they'll see the thread
