plug and play for the headlights. Switching to the rear LED lights have the wiring issue.

Ah no, thats not quite correct^

the headlights are plug and play but will light your turn bulb all the time unless you cut one of the wires and the turn signal, blue wire i believe.. taillights take no wiring whatsoever. they are fully plug and play.

I believe the blue wire is what keeps the signal light on. Just cover the correct prong on the bulb with electrical tape and you're done. No cutting required.

Searching will yield this answer. It's been covered plenty of times.

i went from 03 to 08 headlights and there was no wire cutting for the headlights. i didnt have any issue with the turn bulbs. The rear had 3 wires to mess with to convert to the led tailights. difference in headlight styles?

Ok so when you say tape up the prong what do you mean the blue wire is not plugged in or inuse ? Everything else will plug in fine I haven't attempted this so I DON'T KNOW ?

The wire is still connected to the bulb socket, but you are killing the physical connection between the end of the wire and the bulb prong. Hence, no constant on turn signal.
