What year is the car? What kind of lights did you put in? Did they just start acting like that or did they do that as soon as you changed them? It's possible you need to rewire or splice something, but I wouldn't have a clue without more info.

Nope. You need to rewire. I'd have to find the tutorial again, but it should be a simple fix. I went from 98-02 lights to the lt style, I had to add and extra wire and tap into another wire to get them to light correctly. That took me like 5 minutes to do. Since yours is going the opposite way, I'd have to look that one back up, but it should be a simple fix. The wiring is just slightly different from 93-97 and 98-02
