Did you read what I said? Really? I went off of my original wiring and the older one worked. I double, triple, and quadruple checked my wiring. Using an 1156 bulb and harness to simulate what I did.
Going from the input wires I had a BRIGHT LIGHT from the 1156.
Going OUT OF THE CONVERTER I had dim, almost unrecognizable light. I used an artifical ground just to make sure that part of the frame, what was also used to tail light grounds (I used the supplied connector with the converter. I cleaned the metal to a shine.) and still no output from all three converters.
Well, you can believe that. If you get one and have the same problem, it's not on me. I warned you.
It looks like they carefully hide the information in the instructions.

ONE BULB
(1156)

It did the exact same thing the last two did. Filament took a while to warm up to where you could even see it glowing.
That was with...
That's right...
ONE BULB, as per the instructions. I warned you. You can listen, or you can ignore what I am telling you.
