when you say you tried to replace it, do you mean you put the old ones back in after the new ones didn't work?

try what he said
put the old ones back, and if that doesnt work, then it might be the fuse

there is no light from any corner of the car when you flip the hazards?

highly unlikely that you popped a fuse as the bulb itself acts like a fuse to begin with, but if you reinstalled the original bulbs then yeah check the fuses.

It's the 10A one labeled "TAIL" in the fuse panel that is up under the dash (i.e. the one you put your head on the brake pedal to see).

A 2057 is a bayonet mount and a 7440A is a wedge mount.

Out of curiosity, how did you install it?

Just trying to add some humor.

OK. So you had the rewire to connect up the new lights, and at the same time you were changing the new ones to LEDs?

Did you find that the fuse was popped?

The lighting circuits are well protected, so I would almost guarantee that it's the fuse.

The 10A one at the bottom left of your picture is the tail light fuse if you are working on a liftback.

By the way, I'm not digging that white wire stuffed in the meter fuse. I don't think it's part of your current problem, but it's not a good way of doing things...

There's no fuse in the other place that it would be for a certain config of sedan, so that must be it. Did you pull it and check it closely (ideally with an ohm meter)?

No, But when a fuse goes out it brakes and that fuse its still new

Check the HAZ fuse as well - It is in the under hood fuse box on the driver's side.

Ohh Never tot of dat

CTScott

If you have brake lights, but not turn signal lights, the HAZ fuse would be the culprit.
