Wing led stopped wrki.g how.do i fix.it and are there any clear ones out there
Wing led - 6G Celicas Forums
I'd say that there's something wrong with your wiring or maybe you've got a blown fuse. LEDs are usually in parallel, so if one goes out the rest are still working.

If the fuse was blown wouldnt my brake lights stop.wrking

How come you see third lights where only one or two LEDs in the middle aren't working?
I'm not familiar with this specific wing brake light, but putting something as a row of LEDs, used as a brake indicator, in series would be just dumb...

I did this a while, I'll see if I can find pics tomorrow
Learned a lot in 10 years...I hardly log in anymore, last loginToday Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOLIf you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in2grfe Swapped...Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within.@llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore.
well i had a blank case, however, i bought a cheap led strip from ebay. and shoved it in, sealed it with silicone. u can do the same, except pull the old led strip out.... these things new cost about 400. I paid 10 bucks for cheap led

They are wired either in parallel( for a few large LEDs) or both series and parallel for arrays with a lot of LEDs. Most importantly each LED consumes 2-4 volts of electricity so at 12 volts you cant run more than 3 - 5 leds in series before they start running out of power.
Mine has 97 leds, it has 39 circuits( composed of 2 - 3 leds in SERIES) connected in parallel across a common power and ground.
Notice the small blue resistors are for the vertical rows of 3 leds in series and the large tan resistors are for the short 2 led circuits in between.

I kindof got mixed up, I use both just like BMW, I do parallel rows of about 3 leds in series, but ive used just parallel, too like on the cluster of my GT, and on the turn signals of my ST and they lasted as long as I had the car(over 2 years) and not a single one burnt
, but I used both like I said on the dome lights of my MR2, it just depends if Im making a strip, or a square/similar shape.

DAMN! I would love to see a picture of that monster turned on!
