      @ OK so I have a problem every time I step on the break there’s a alarm goes off nothing shows up on the dash and my turn signals are moving really fast left and right side. I thought it may have been a light relay, but I can’t find it I’ve looked up under the fuse box underneath the steering wheel can’t find it. Would you be able to help me out with that or your thoughts I have a Dodge ram 1500 2007 3.7 L.

      My first thought is one of 2 things, first being the easiest one, you could have brake lamp bulbs that are out and those are pretty simple to check and 2 if the bulbs are good it could be a problem with the brake lamp switch. That is just what pops into my head right off the bat.

    Ok, question. The part where you plug into the bulb housing area right. Is that part exposed? Do you need to apply electrical tape? I see that you pulled the bulb out. That won't cause any shorts?

    Looking at the amount of rust on the under side of your truck, you should tape the connectors and wrap them in loom to protect them from salt other corrosive materials. Also your buddy’s Halogens are just dirty and old. My stock halogens light my plate up much better than his🤣
