Just noticed this problem coming back from work.
1. Driver side taillight not working. Only driver's side light up only when signaling. Before anyone tells me it's a bulb , i replaced it with a new one and same problem.
2. Also noticed driver side front signal bulb doesnt come on when fogs on but on when signaling.
3. License plate bulbs doesnt light up but it SIGNALS! when i turn on my signal lights. Right License bulb blinks when i signal right. Pretty neat i think lol
Earlier in the day i received 3157 leds bulbs supposedly for my reverse but it was the wrong bulb (921 for 07+ models). So i stuck it in the tails to see how it would look and took them back off. Not sure if this cause some sort of problem. Going to take it to the dealership 2morrow if anything. Anybody ever had this problem?
I put some LED bulbs in my tails before, and they blew the brake light switch fuse. Perhaps its some kind of fuse, I don't know. Because you're running/parking/tail lights aren't working, which is the minor filament of the bulb. The major filaments are working because they are blinking. The license plate bulbs is a little crazy...LOL!
Check the bulb sockets and make sure they aren't melted/corroded. Also check all the other bulbs and make sure they are all working. I haven't had any light issus on my WK but I did have a few strange problems like you describe with my WJ.
my third brake light works when it feels like it. sometimes it will go days without working while other times it works fine. anyone else have this problem?
thanks

Do you have remote start? If so, tonight start it up and see if the front turns blink and then the minor filament stays on...after remote start the minor on those bulbs will remain lit and if they aren't then there is a def issue if both blink but do not stay illuminated

I'd check the metal connections on the bulbs themselvs. like christmas lights if the connections arent touching corectly or touching something else it could short out.
WOOT! yea it was a fuse problem. Replaced the left parking lights with a 10 amp Red and everything back to normal . Only thing not on was the left license plate bulb . going to replace that fuse tomorrow cause i bought the wrong fuse .
When I messed with installing led bulbs in the rear of my 05 WK I ran into issues. I blew fuses in the engine compartment, many times. I figured out resistors are needed, one 6ohm for each blinker bulb and one for each brake bulb. And thats with already having a 1.2 ohm resistor on each of my front dual led turn signal/parking light bulbs.
First thing I check now is the fuses when something doesnt work right or work at all. They sell fuses that actually light up when they are blown, but they are expensive compaired to basic fuses.
