Many, many regulators on Treatland's site. Please kindly show which one. Also, how you hooked it up to the blue and the yellow wire that you have.

What is the voltage and wattage of each/every bulb in your allstate? You really can't deviate from the chart below with this balanced AC system.

I will check on every single contact.

Can anyone confirm if that's the correct way to connect the regulators.

I have a led bulb BA15 for the brake light and a led festoon for the taillight, does it affect the whole circuit?

should i stay with the regular filament bulbs even with regulators??

Thanks!

LED's are hit or miss on AC systems.
If you have regular bulbs pop them in and see if your tail light works then or not. You'll at least be able to cross the lamps as the issue at least.
