LED Tail Lights + Load Equalizer Install on 2006-2012 4th Generation Eclipse

[@exiled_addicto6248]

worked awesome turned off my tcl, abs and got my cruise control back I despise these taillights but they were installed by the previous owner and I'll live with them and thw aftermarket headlights till I can get the stock lights back in. thank u

[@Negative_Edge]

Did everything you said, worked out perfectly! Even with the load equalizers. The slide connection from the aftermarket tail lights, I didnt cut mines off, I connected the way it was intended to but I wrapped it in electrical tape since the mini circuit board was exposed. Other than that, everything came out perfect! Thanks for this guide!!!

[@NeojimJK]

You sir are a god! I have a 07 Eclipse and needed new tail lights. Your video made it super easy for me to replace them. You gave me info on all the ins and outs, that subwoofer removal all of it! I am also going to be replacing my head lights and bumper cover and your other video will help me on that also. You saved me a ton of money with just these 2 videos. I can't thank you enough.

[@4GEclipseHowToACI]

no problem! glad you enjoy them

[@PatLileProductions]

Is there a reason your taking all the interior pieces out? There's two doors on the inside that pop out so you can access the tail lights. Ive changed multiple tail lights.. Never took the interior out lol. Just making sure I'm not missing anything.

[@yanirawr]

I have an eclipse as well and you helped me installed mine by myself. As a woman i can't thank you enough for this lol. So now whenever i tell people i installed them myself i look badass XD So does my car now ;)

[@tamikamiller848]

You helped my daughter and I change out the entire lamp. Her other one was broken. Not the topic, but helped immensely! Thanks!!

[@MAC_V4_2K]

what type of load equalizers are they (how many watts or ohms?)

[@lchace]

Thanks for this video! Great step by step. I was able to successfully install these in my eclipse by watching this.

[@BittyBeach]

you know alot about cars g, more vids on eclipse please they are very useful to me!!

[@michaeladams906]

Oh my good a video that actually showes me what I want!!!!!!! Yes lord

[@4GEclipseHowToACI]

glad to hear that Yanina!

[@willbryanmedina3515]

Just to save A LOT of time on anyone doing this, you do not need to take apart the whole interior. All you need to do is remove the cover as if youre going to change the lightbulb and take the 10mm nut out and then take a few clips off thw cover on the edge of the trunk to find the second 10mm and light will come right out.

[@daverico559]

Hi Jason, First let me thank you for your excellent videos. They've really helped me with my 2007 Eclipse GS. I just purchased the Third Upper Middle Brake Lamp Spoiler. But I haven't been able to find any instructions on how to install it. I was hoping you could direct me to a video or any information that might help me. Thanks again for all the great info you put out for us.

[@ThePainKiller1999]

Very useful, this video help me a lot in the process of installing my tail lights, thanks

[@chrisherrick2497]

Jason, this fixed my traction control light as well as my cruise control just by adding the load equalizers. Thank you! Weird thing is that all the lights work now expect by left rear brake light when dims or regular lights are not on. Once I turn on one or the other the left rear brake light works?!

[@4GEclipseHowToACI]

That's an odd gremlin. Did you check your connections? A corroded slide connection may cause that

[@chrisherrick2497]

I will take another look. Thanks for your help! My shop told me the TCL light never comes on when they drove it ( of course since they drive it 2-3 minutes) and they said the cruise issue is due to my engine light being on- said Mitsubishi takes away certain creature comforts till you fix that light ?!?! Right! Thank God for your post!

[@chuckc6193]

What kind of load resisters do you use? Also if I don’t have traction control, would I still need the resistors?

[@whenmullet2674]

I put these in a 2007 Spyder GT a few years ago. The driver's brake light quit working, the running light works as well as the right brake and the one on the spoiler. I checked all the connections and everything is good. Any ideas?

[@smartfeller1495]

Jason can you please put up a video on how to remove the center brake light you know the clear spoiler thing in the middle because mine has a spoiler on it and because of the clear thing in the middle I think it's called a trunk lid it makes it look like it has two spoilers and idk how to take it off!??

[@michaeladams906]

What about stereo been looking into getting one that’s touch screen an trying to find the surround piece for the stereo and vents

[@equs007]

do you have any videos of the rear shocks? how to access them and instal a coilover kit?

[@jamesbailey3563]

Hey, which hole is the blinker bulb going in and which one for the brake bulb? I installed just like you showed and noticed all bulbs are working except the inner whole that I put the brake bulb in. I put the blinker in the one with the led accessory

[@corenchidori]

thank you for the help!!

[@simpleoutdoors1]

I got a pair of the black ones for my 09 gs, it doesnt have traction control, its a 5 speed, and i need the resistors to get my cruise control to work again, mine doesnt have the sub woofer or need all the truck panels removed like this did, just 2 little tab panels inside trunk to remove screw and then replace the lights.

[@4GEclipseHowToACI]

we just showed it with the panels removed to make it easier for everyone to see the process, it is not necessary

[@213salv]

Hi guys, I'm having problems with the cruise control, any ideas how can I make it work. Great video!

[@zimhome]

Nice job Jason.

[@jamesdrauode]

Hey jason, great video! I have a 2007 gs and i have a problem removing the left side headlight because there is something in the way and i cant get to the push conection contrary to the right side which is very accesible, any suggestions?

[@hassnainmalik1]

Thanks so Much for your help. I will order some and try em out

[@marioluisgon]

Hey Jason my Passenger back light LEDs are out which is weird cause the rest of them are working fine.. I thought they were bad but they actually light up when I step on the break but stay off while I'm driving.. I've been pulled over already, switched the main bulbs & can't seem to find the problem :// help plz

[@4GEclipseHowToACI]

both the tail light and headlight are dimmer? sounds like some sort of electrical issue.... the taillight half circle issue may be a defect in the taillight.

[@letsroll2463]

can you give a link to where did you buy those equalizers or an online equivalent to do this job?

[@zinkzxd2891]

Can anyone please tell me what clips are used for the bumper and the trim piece that is above the bumper that the trunk lid hits when closing? I can't find the part to replace all the missing clips. Thank you all for your time:)

[@fancycrocidile1879]

Do I have to use the LED bit or can I just leave it and plug in the rest of the lights?

[@4GEclipseHowToACI]

Yes, otherwise you'll have no running or brake lights

[@fancycrocidile1879]

@@4GEclipseHowToACIahhh okok then thank you this video’s been a lot of help

[@TheUnknownBrainer]

I have the same lights but black, the running lights stopped working all of a sudden brake lights still works, i checked the fuse in the engine bay looks fine i changed it anyways. Now I'm just confused to what's causing it to not work

[@4GEclipseHowToACI]

its the slide connection most likely. If you didn't hardwire them like in the video the slide connection probably corroded.

[@thomasmeng3546]

Hey Jason, thanks for the vid! It was great. I am having one problem. When I press the breaks the right red led ring goes off completely but when I don’t hit the breaks it works. Any suggestions?

[@4GEclipseHowToACI]

that probably means you're running light wire has a bad connection on that side. Try re-doing it real quick and that should more than likely solve the problem.

[@collineustace1091]

hey Jason I just installed this tail lights on my sisters 08 eclipse gt and put in the load resistors but the tcc still on any ideas on what went wrong

[@gabogd5885]

@jason Willis I'm about to do this in a 09 eclipse, don't know if I missed it in the comments, but can you tell me what kind of load equalizer I need?

@gabo gd did you ever find out what kind?

@@therealscarletwolf1173 I didn't 😬

[@4GEclipseHowToACI]

Yes sir that is EXACTLY why your cruise control does not work. this will ALSO fix your cruise control! these are 6 Ohm 25-watt but the 6-50 work as well

[@loganwolf6079]

Hey Jason, i did the instalation all good about a year ago, now when i push the breaks one ligth go out, i dont know how to mess with led a lot, how can i fix this?, keeping in mind, i already check all the cables and everything is well, Thanks in advance!!!

[@4GEclipseHowToACI]

If the entire ring is out its either a fuse or a wiring issue. I would double check those :)

[@geomanislan5483]

Hola le quedan a un eclipse spyder convertible 2.4

[@Aesthention]

My grommets in the corner of the headlight that hold it to the body keep coming apart, where could we get replacement grommets?

[@4GEclipseHowToACI]

any auto part store should have a comparable push pin clip to replace it with! You also may be able to reuse the stock ones i you didnt destroy them taking them out.

[@hassnainmalik1]

Hey Jason, I believe adding LED tail lights broke my cruise control. I don't get any error lights on the dash and I do not have any load resistors installed. Do you think its the LED lights that caused cruise control malfunction? I was reading on bunch of forums and LED brake light is normally the cause. Do you think that adding load resistors will fix this problem with the cruise control. Are these 6 Ohm 50W resistors?

[@213salv]

Hi, did you ever fix the problem with the cruise control? I'm having the same problem.

[@cfeclipse666]

I'm thinking about getting these for my 2008 eclipse GS are they brighter than stock?

[@BlackoutEclipse]

yes

[@MrAcura187]

I just installed my LEDs with black housing, but my driver side brake light won't won't, everything else is good tho.... any ideas?

[@4GEclipseHowToACI]

probably just a connection issue, i would try and redo the connection on that light to ensure its getting power

[@enriqueramos2554]

So do the load resistors just make it not show the light or does it stop it from messing up traction control?

[@brandoncrowell3812]

Enrique Ramos just keeps the traction control light from showing up on your dash

[@brandoncrowell3812]

Doesn’t ACTUALLY mess your traction control up :)

[@austinodonnell7254]

Hey Jason quick question! Is there anyway to disconnect the taillights when the accessory mode is on?

[@4GEclipseHowToACI]

you have them reversed if that the case, when you push the brake pedal they should get twice as bright :)

[@anthonyblazon169]

I noticed a Az plate, do you install if I have the head and tail lights?

[@Sentaomel]

I want strobe blinking lights for my 4g help

[@bricejohnson7207]

Why would my brake light not work but my accessories does.

[@eclipsereviews4678]

so its not plug in play im guessing ?

[@4GEclipseHowToACI]

Not entirely if you want to avoid future issue. Still a very simple install

[@eclipsereviews4678]

@@4GEclipseHowToACI then what type of equalizers and exact watts ?

[@endofsociety]

so if the led goes out, you have to replace the whole tail light assembly?

[@4GEclipseHowToACI]

if it's the entire led panel its probably a bad connection or blown fuse.

[@endofsociety]

Jason Willis (AutoCity Jason) when i step on the brake it works fine. Idk what the deal is

[@endofsociety]

The rest of the lights work, blinkers and such just the parking light is out

[@4GEclipseHowToACI]

+endofsociety the one wire is for brakes, one for running lights, and one for ground. check your running light wire connection. I bet that's the culprit

[@endofsociety]

+Jason Willis (AutoCity Jason) sweet thanks

[@AdianBennett1]

@ 4GEclipseHowTo I have a 2009 eclipse, and my passenger tail light and head light are dimmer than the other side. tail light is a half circle instead of a full. Any idea what the issue may be?

[@damainkinder3208]

Are there reverse lights with the tail lights?

[@4GEclipseHowToACI]

you just reuse your stock lights and insert them into the new housings.

[@williameast9198]

What if we don’t cut out the slid connector?

[@4GEclipseHowToACI]

you don't have to, but more than likely you'll run into corrosion problems later from the connector getting wet.

Hello! I have a big problems with my 2007 Eclipse,2.4 litres,maby someone can help me,because where i live is only this model in the city and nobody can help me.When i start the car,the light is start automatic,but with less intense.When i start the light button,is more intense in front and normaly must start and tail light from the round LED ,but start just the side tail lights,the central round LEDs don't work.When i push the brake it light more intense,so LEDs is working.What can i do? I check all the wires,and fuses and relays,everything is ok.I wonder if i make any conections between side bulb lights and Round LEDs lights,could work?But the LED s have very thin wires ,and bulb have more strong,that could make a short circuit and i'm affraid about that.Another problem is with radio unit.It don't work and on the main display appear E DC.I put another cd player,a regular one ,not special for this car ,and at display appear E COM.I will be wery greatfull for hwo can help me with this problems,in my country when i was with my ECLIPSE at Mitsubishi's representative,they said it's first time when they saw that type, so they don't have any solutions for me...

[@DeathsWhiplash]

Nice

[@4GEclipseHowToACI]

mat im sorry your having trouble with the installation. if the tcl lights come on about 10 minutes after driving that means you did not install the equalizers correctly or you have faulty equalizers. you are the only person that we know of that is having problems with this install, maybe you should look into having a professional install your lights.

Chrome taillights

[@ulyssasymone5792]

I'm hoping someone can help me. I have a 2007 4 Cylinder Mitsubishi Eclipse. My right taillight is out. I think it may be a short since It has come back and gone off. Also, my friend discovered some water that seeped into it. I'm trying to figure out if it's just the taillight of if the car has electrical issues in general. My dash lights don't always come on when i turn my car off and I have to play with the switch to get my back seat lights to come on. Help please!! i don't want to spend more than I have to to get these issues resolved.
