I ordered a set of LED bulbs for my tailight on the Mercury Marauder. They didn't work. I am in the auto sound. That did my sound system. And they have tried 4 sets. And none of them work. Can someone give me the part numbers. On the 4 LED bulbs. That will work on my Mercury Marauder tail lights.

You'll need a resistor for each light or an electronic flasher. Do the bulbs might up at all? Fast flash ?

You need 3157 bulbs. The bulbs should have 2 filaments, one for tail lights and one for stop lights.
LED bulbs also have to be installed correctly, ie. plus to plus, minus to minus.
You might have to bend the contacts in the sockets towards each other more and or bend the contacts on the bulbs.

Do the stock bulbs work? If not they may have blown the fuse(s).

I recommend you work with fastblackmerc. All of the LED products I have purchased from him work great, including the rear tail lights.

3156 is a single filament bulb. FBM is correct that a 3157 is needed as it is a dual filament bulb.

I am a huge fan of morimoto...
I use these bulbs for any 3157 I need, they are not cheap but they are one of a few of the 3157's that has clear difference between parking light and brake light.

I am a wholesaler for TRS so if anyone is interested let me know, they drop ship so takes 2-3 days for delivery anywhere in the US. I can get these bulbs for a bit cheaper, PM me if interested. This is the same bulb I use in the trailer hitch GODHEAD we are about to list as a stocked product.
