Rear marker lights aren't lighting up

[907steve]

Hey all
Im brand new to the forum i have a 2012 FZ8 . I was installing a fender eliminator with led marker lights i don't know whats going on but the signals work but the markers don't stay lit. The front markers are fine. Ive check the manual and fuses but can't figure it out. I plugged the factory fender and lights back up and the everything works(license plate light, rear light) except the rear marker lights.

Wow so i found out the rear marker light only lights up when the signal is activated and the front are always lit regardless hope this saves someone the time it took me to realize this haha

If you want the marker lights to light up like the front, you can wire them directly to the tail light circuit...........HOWEVER, to do this legally the lenses must be red (indicating rear of vehicle, amber indicates front of vehicle) when illuminated. This is why the rear markers are normally off, and ONLY on to indicate turn.
