I want to night shade my tails, corners, and blinkers. While I had em off, and since I had a blown bulb I Was wandering if I need one of those LED resistors? If so can someone link a walk through? I believe it'll flash like a epileptic crack addict without it. And where do I get the bulb numbers?

I found flasher relays for LED bulbs on amazon. Just never bought them because I gave up on LEDs for the time being. Just search for it.
I'd just stick with white non-led bulbs. Go thin on the lens tint.

Why the nightshade hate? I already have a can from were I did the ol truck, when done correctly it looks fantastic, in my opinion. Prep is everything. I guess Ill keep the ol regular bulbs and put the LEDs on the inside.
I had to dig up a flexing pic since this is a Jeep forum. Lol, this isn't the best on I got but the others dont show the taillights.

I think it looks goofy, but I don't have a problem with it if proper light color and output is maintained. Which is very, very rare. So kudos for trying to do it right and staying safe.

Okay, so we have no spark and (possibly) no fuel. I've sprayed starter spray into the carb while trying to start the jeep but there was no change. This makes sense if there is no spark. After all, the starter spray needs a spark too! lol This would also, for the moment, set aside the possibility of a fuel problem since the engine should have at least started for a moment or two from the spray start. (If I can get the spark and it still doesn't start then we would then move to the fuel system for troubleshooting, correct?) So the question is: would a bad CPS cause a no spark? Thankfully, it's no hard to get to.

I still don't think that's your problem.
