fuse blown with led bulb in tailights

[John Lapacik]

I recently bought new tail light assemblies for my 2004 ram 1500. They are smoked so I decided to install led bulbs so when driving at night the lights would show better. When I installed the 3057 led bulbs ,almost instantly, my parking fuses blew when I turned them on. The tail lights have a socket board, so there not the individual sockets for each bulb. Also when I applied the brake pedal the brake lights flashed… It could be from the blown fuses??? The reverse lights work great, but for the moment I re-installed the halogen bulbs for the brake and turn signals. Also they are two separate bulbs they are not dual filament. So if anyone has an idea on this I would appreciate the input. thanks

I would imagine it has something to do with the board in the tail light. You may need
a switch back led.
