    ok so my brothers dually has LED clearance lights, and side markers. most of the time the orange marker lights never work or one works but the other doesnt. a guy at the dodge dealership said that its because the LEDs need more power and the TIPM wont allow it thats y they work only some of the time. he also said that the LEDs will generally trip the TIPM. any feedback as to the truth of this??? so far my experiences have not been good with this TIPM thing. even on my truck ive fried one with a faulty 7 way on a trailer. thanks.
