- So im back after a long needed break and we are starting things off by installing a pair of Pro Tuning LED tail lights for project white lightning.
If you want to get yourself these tail lights you can buy them here

Just a FYI. The brake lights do randomly not work. I am a police officer and have experienced this and seen this many times over when we had Crown Vics in our fleet. Plus I own one myself and have had this same issue with mine. The brake switch is faulty. It sometimes doesn't activate the lights or if you let off the brake pedal a little, but brakes are still engaged, they will stop illuminating. Replace brake switch. It's seen its fair share of use if it was a retired unit.
the blinker relay is built into the lighting control module, and can't be replaced in the way you described.
Thank you for the heads up Mr. Random. I kept getting a blown fuse till you mentioned only plugging up one connection.
Shield Gage what fuse did you replace
Thank you for this I just a pair myself and blew out all the lighting fuses all because I plugged in the red right wire. They look great
Got several mods on my vic just because of your videos. Thanks for what you do. Had to rewatch this one to get my led tail lights working correctly. Keep it up.
Honestly, they look a bit goofy, that clear lenses at the bottom is pointless, the stock ones definatly are brighter looking and far more noticeable.
Looks like a more modern car, but without overdoing it. LEDs are just a flat upgrade in every regard in nearly every application. Thanks, I would have never thought of doing this; I might just do this with mine.
Thank you so much for sharing this, much appreciated. Just got my first very own, P71, thanks again for all your videos,
Thank you! you just helped me so much. I hooked up both wires like you originally said and even blew a fuse.
Tami Schifflin what fuse was it?
@@F4Lskating ik this is old but i blew fuse 21.
Great video, and great vics. I'm getting my second Vic in about a month 😉
awesome!
again I am a huge fan, because of your videos I talked my wife out of getting a Dodge charger, and now we are getting another crown Victoria. I have a 06 p71 very clean with all kinds of mods. now it's time to do the same to another. my second will be all white, as my current one is two tone blue.. keep doing a great job man, much respect. p.s I'm in law enforcement as well.
stay safe.
I'm doing LED taillight bulbs this week, also have done reverse lights, interior and trunk, headlights, front turns and side markers, oh and a white 194 for the plate light.
You can also buy load resistors as well right? I should've looked into the led relay when i installed load resistors for my front turn signals/parking lights.
Sir. You need to edit your video and cut out the part where you're informing watchers that you can get rid of LED hyperflash by replacing a relay under the hood with a LED type blinker relay. This is completely incorrect. There is no blinker relay on the Crown Vics. They have a Lighting Control Module (LCM) under the driver's kick panel near the center. It is one large module for all lighting control. You will be required to do a resistor on both sides for the wire that makes the lights blink. Also, that black box with the sticky pad that came with those LED tail lights is a resistor to prevent hyper flash. However, the manufacturer of the LED lights messed up with their wiring due to the dual plugs they provide causing a short when the brake lights or blinker is used. I think it is bullshit because I ended up having to replace 3 different fuses in relation to the hazard lights, blinkers and brake lights trying to figure out where they messed up at when I did this year and half ago. Anyways, edit your video sir. Individual resistors are required to prevent hyper flash for the Vics.
Your answer is exactly what I thought he was going to say... an inline resistor to trick the computer into thinking the old style light is still there
Hey bro, i have the same led lights with the two.black boxes i only hooked one of the two wire connections like mr random said. So i have hyper flash when turn signals are used are those black boxes useless or wired wrong . How did you fix the problem any help would be appreciated thanks mr Jesse.
@@jessecadena9485 You still have to place load resistors on the turn signal wire. The two black boxes are only for the brake lights, not the turn signal. These lights were not actually designed to flash with the brake lights applied. That is why they put those extra holes at the bottom. Those are for the turn signal lights that you have to add yourself.
love them been wanting a pair for some time now just never got around to it
love the video man keep going with this I have the identical p71 up here in Canada!
glad to see you back
thanks for making these videos. i have been struggling with the same tail lights. i didnt know about the using just the one wire
Hi hillbilly , i just bought this led lights have a problem with the hyper flash. I have tried many things to fix problem from hd led flasher , mounted in line resistors with no success still have hyper flash. Any info you have would be appreciated mr Jesse my crown vic 2008
Beautiful! Thank you!
Got some of the LED tails for our 09 P 71. Followed instructions, install went great, plug and play. Marking the L/R plugs helped however..... no power, new tails don't work. Checked several fuses and found 2 that blew. If LEDs draw less current why would they blow 10 and 15 Amp fuses? Any thoughts? bash26
Nice I plan on doing this when I get mine...great video 👍🏾
Looks very cool.
do they have a modernization kit for the front turn signals as well, or is it just swapping out bulbs and ?maybe? put some euro headlights in.
the other set of wires is for the one that had the separate turn signal. and how come you didnt put the steobes in them? that would have been cool af. they look dope. you need to put resisters between power of the turn signal and ground it to the body to get rid of the fast blink
yeah i like but can you put the strobe light in them and have you ever seen a shifter lock on a Crown Vic
looks great nice job
Hi I had recently received my LED tail lights and I think there grate .how ever I would like to change the relay. Where is the relay located. Also what did you do with the extra wires. And plug. When I received my lights there were no instructions.
Thanks buddy for the info been watching mad videos from you 💪🏻
I really enjoy your Videos. I have a 2007 CVPI
I've heard that if you go buy a hazard light relay and replace the normal blinker relay with it, it will work at the stock pace.
i love all your videos they are very helpfull and i will be posting my crown vic p71 and tell me what u think of it
Hyper blinking is actually illegal in most states if not all of them. I believe the DOT sets the standard. Turn signals are supposed to flash approximately 60 times per minute. The reason it flashes approximately 120 times per minute after changing to LED is exactly as you stated that the car thinks there is no bulb there. It is designed like that on purpose that to tell you that a bulb is burnt out and needs to be replaced. It can also be a signal to the police you have a light out. DOT wants signals to flash slower because the idiot drivers think they only need to flash once or twice during a lane change when in reality they are supposed to signal during the entire lane change. I'm a motorcycle rider and always turn my head backwards before changing lanes and can't tell you how many times a person in front of me with two quick flashes of a turn signal and expected me to see that by the time I time I turn my head back forwards..
Mr. Random. Hey buddy, long time viewer, just never really commented. Love your channel and everything you do on the Crown Vic. I have a 2009 that I bought in 2016 with 94k miles. It is a black CVPI with 3.55 posi rear with the dark mode. I love black CVPIs... and thinking about getting that push guard on your black vic.
great video man its easier than I thought
them taillights are dope too!
I thought the relay you have to replace is inside the LCM Light Control Module? To stop "hyperflash"
Are you planning on doing that on both vics? I figured that if you're going to work in one or both you might as well be comfortable in them instead of sore or bored
Looks great!
yo that black crown vic reminds me so much of the marauder, dope as fuck
Also can you do a video on cruise control installation on a cvpi. That way you have the best of both worlds. pi for performance and cruise control for long trips
I was installing a different set of lights but this tutorial still helped a bunch. Thanks so much for making this! #crownvicgang
Do you plug the left cable with the yellow or do you plug the yellow cable in the right ?
So you never plug in the right plug ?
Love them buying mine soon
How do you stop the hyperflashing? Im running LEDs for mu turn signals. I dont want to splice wires.
I have a 1999 crown vic p71 police interceptor but the red and blue flashers in the front side markers and the tail lights wires have all been cut so how do i rewire them so that they work
Is a '04 Police Interceptor a 2 or 4 bulb housing? 🤔
every time i want to do something with lights you got a video
i really like it !!!
NICCCEEEEE LOOKS CLEAN ASS HELL MAN
Will these LED lights hookup to a 2004 MGM? The website on li y offers Ford has an option.
Does anyone know what the measurement of this black part of the CrownVic's taillight is? Thanks
When I plug them both in my brake lights nor my hazards flash. Any idea what it can be?
The turn signal relay isn’t in the fuse panel. The turn signal relay is incorporated into a lighting control module which is under the dash inside of the vehicle and it isn’t easy at all for the average joe to change.
Great video
My issue with these lights is when plugged in everything works fine but as soon as I turn on the running lights/headlights the brake lights do not work in these LEDs! Did you run into this issue?
Sooooo when will these be back in stock ?
Just found your page today and subscribed. I like the idea of the Galaxie body swap. In this one, you mentioned ViperSil with a LED relay switch. I cannot find ViperSil or any other videos on a LED relay switch. Do you have a link to that fix? Looking forward to watching your videos!
Looks way better with the leds tail lights
Nice video and the lights look great. I have to say though I am not a big fan of the way most American cars have turn signals incorporated with the brake lights. Here in the UK we have to have separate orange turn signals and it's way easier to see when someone is turning. I don't know if it's your camera or not but I could hardly tell that your blinker was on with the new LED lights. Having driven 1000's of mile in the US I still prefer the separate orange turn signals. :)
I think until 2002 Crown Vics had the additional Yellow turn signals. I agree with you there should be a yellow or orange turn signal lights front and rear..
I hate the look of amber lights in the back. In person you can tell much better when the turn signal is on.
Ok I have an amber lens on my crown for turn signal. You don't have one. Can I still buy these? How will my turn signals work?
I'm curious as to what the portion at the bottom with the clear lens does. I was hoping that would become the turn signal, as one of my complaints about the stock tails is how it simply uses the same section as the brake lights and that's not always super visible to other drivers.
yea i was thinking the same..or maybe another set of reverse lights...sadly its just a blank lens
Well, damn. I'm always looking for ways to increase visibility. One of the things I am going to use the car for outside of my commute is I run with a group called the Warriors' Watch Riders, and having strobes and brighter lights would be great when we do welcome home parades and funeral escorts for fallen veterans.
It's there for 98-02 Vics that have a seperate blinker.
Currently saving for my own CVPI to replace my '99 Plym. Gr. Voyager, named B.R.U.N.O. (Busted Rusted Ugly Nonetheless Operational) with 185K+ miles. He runs, but there's a new noise just about EVERY day. He WAS bought new in '99 when we had our daughter & NEEDED a m***van. We drove her & her friends & then the sick br.-in-law & elderly fr.-in-law back & forth to Drs/hospitals/VA/etc. We kept him until a m***van wasn't needed any more, but they wouldn't give us much on trade. So, I sold it to a tradesman who used it as a shuttle for guys, haulin' equip., runnin' errands, just an extra set of wheels as needed.
When HE didn't want/need it any more (just didn't need the extra expense, really) & I needed a vehicle (my Escort had JUST died), he GAVE it back to me AND. . . PAID for the plates, Township sticker, & transfer fees. This after. . . 2 "rolling" accidents, a "parked" accident, a wrinkled hood incident, 2 transmissions (they tended to "act up" after about 75K mi.), a "new", boneyard engine, & never, I mean NEVER cleaning the interior (gross!). But hey. . . free, right?
Everything worked (save the vent windows in back) even the A/C, throws heat like a blast furnace, & ran "pretty smooth". With a set of plugs, a whole can of SeaFoam run through a fresh, full tank of "Hi-Test", a "new" driver's window switch, "new" driver's SEAT (19 years of butts REALLY flattened it down), carpeting/padding (gross!), a fresh headliner, LED dome lights, restoring the crusty (yep), yellow headlamps, adding road lamps, flood headlamps (for unincorporated areas), back-up flood lamps, & alley lights . . . he's a top notch pizza delivering "machine". I've even accidentally driven over. . . a few things (didn't KILL anything/anyone, tho), driven him in the >100° heat &
Would these fit a grand marquis?
i have a 2004 grand mercury will these fit
Did these cause hyper flash?
Just curious could you do a video about install cruise control installation on a cvpi so you can take trips with it. Also you you install a double din radio installation so you have a factory look so it's not a boring am/fm radio. Ya know looks clean but you have more options as well. Even the charger pi version has more features. Keep up the great videos.
thanks man ill look into the cruise control swap and a new radio is also a mod thats coming soon too👍
Where do you buy aftermarket parts for panther cars besides Amazon ebay
maybe a double din stereo on both vics, and that way it's flush like factory but not boring like the am/fm radio currently in your car. Just ideas for you.
Is it a interceptor
I have a 2004 crown vic p71 and I'm turning it into a race car as well, mine is nicknamed the giggle vic because it has a 100 shot of NOS
Can those tails lights fit the Mercury grand Marquis's?
yes
Nice. Not really popular on CVN, bet my ZEVOs are brighter. I too like the hyperflashing.
Run don't walk down to the PEP Boys and get that relay for those lights. The faster flashing makes you lose all the definition. You don't want those lights flashing so fast that people behind you have to look twice or don't even notice your turn signal is on. There is a reason the stock flashers are slower, old man grandpa Ford knew what it were doing.
meh....doesnt bother me
Kimberlyexpects >>> I agree. No one said the fast flashing is normal. In fact I have no idea if leaving them fast-flashing is harmful to the circuitry, but if it is... it wouldn’t surprise me.
If I’m wrong, then correct me.
This works great for states with no salt! those lights wouldn't last 1 winter here in Chicago! 😣They look Great but no waterproof connections..😅
I've never had anyone complain about not being to see my cars brake lights. It's actually bright as fuck stock.
No such thing as a spot to put an LED relay, it's all through the PCM you can either do the load resistors, or bypass the LCM (I did the latter) only issue with bypassing LCM is you won't know when a bulb is out
12:40 - The outer amber markers up front: Are those supposed to blink also when the inner turn signals are on?
No, only the inner ones will blink
Hey mr random where did u get the blue hoses i cant find them anywhere for my vic
those are silicone hoses they came with the older vics
i have to install the LED relays to stop mine. You HAVE to fix the hyper flash or the cruise control functions will not work correctly....
The brake lights on my '07 are nice and bright
Hey I know this question is completely off topic
But does anyone know where the keyless entry module is on a P71? I bought one recently and it won't into programming mode for the Fob. I wanted to check if there is even a keyless module installed, but I've been searching around and have come up with nothing as to where it would be located.
It may not have the ability or simply cannot enabled depending on what year your P71 is. Most 2008 and newer have the ability, older would require some additional parts.
Hellooo are you suppose to remove the little black rubber pieces on the back it’s like 4 of them look like a horse shoe
Tried to watch but couldn’t get past the hand and your shadow in vid. Constructive criticism
So what's the clear part of the light for is that like an extra reverse light
I'm pretty sure it's a normal orange blinker light but since his car didn't come originally with those (which some crown vics did) he didn't wire them in.
They look really nice, but they would probably be much less visible in traffic in the bright sunlight as most aftermarket replacements are..Safety First..
What kind of floor mats do you use with that rubbery floor, if any?
i dont put any floor mats on mine it makes it easier to clean
nice
I've never understood why Im suppose to care about hyperflashing. Does anyone know?
they would look good on the black car also lol
u should do sequential blinkers
is there a website with good info on whats different year by year. more than just what i can get from wikipedia

What LED bulbs did you use? I'm new to the LED market and would like to know so I don't buy the wrong size
Kyle anonymous Pretty it's an LED strip that comes with the taillight.
The after market stuff for vics sucks. Those LEDs are probably the lowest quality ever. You cant even see that during the day. You're chances of getting rear ended go way up with those.
Love the wheels on your Vic. What brand, style and size are they?
Those wheels look like their off a six cyl Mustang or maybe a Taurus.
bullit style mustang rims
Whats up youtube its your boy....
why is this a common mod now its like those chrome lights they look horrible
Looks cool to me. And he's right that the factory Crown Vic brake lights aren't that great. The very first night I had my Crown Vic, someone almost rear-ended me.
Are you doing this on the black crown Victoria
yes eventually i will
I had a question for u Mr random I have a 07 p71 and when my car warms up it miss fires on number 8 so I wanted to know if u had a idea of what may cause it to missfire
ignition coil and spark plug on #8
@@MrRandomReviews ok thanks I will try that
Where did u get the rims from and will mustang rims fit a grand Marquis?
What year do you have? I've been looking for mods for my 2010 Grand Marquis
All mustang rims all the way up to 2020 will fit the vic, same bolt pattern
Mr, Random, would those LED tail lights work on my Grand Marquis?
yes
@@MrRandomReviews hello mr random i have been watching this video trying to figure out the problem with these led rear lights i installed on my crown victoria .my lights have the two light bulb connections and two black boxes which are supposed to be resistors. I checked everything wired right and even bought an aftermarket hd flasher unit for led lights did not work .any help on this issue would be appreciated mr Jesse
