Maybe a wire got pinched when you put the bed back on?

they dont work with your trailer lights? Because in order to use single bulb trailer lights on a mazda you need a logic converter, mazdas are two bulb systems.

Or they worked with your trailer lights and now they dont with your stock lights? Like someone suggested, you should check to make certain you grounded the taillights when you put the bed back on.

you need the logic connector I was talking about. Think of the LED's as single bulb brake/turns, the mazda is stillwired as dual bulb (sperate bulbs for brake and turn) so you need the adapter.

Some LED companies sell them along with their led's, I got mine at the parts store, I needed two and they were $18 each. You'll need an elctronicflasher too to keep the turns from going nuts.

I got mine at advance auto parts. Tell the guy you need the electronic adapter for dual wire tails to single wire tails on a trailer or just hunt around in the trailer section. The electronic flaser will be there too.
