I pulled out the housing for my tail lights to tint them. Now that they are back in my alarm keeps going off. I'm assuming there's some sensor out of place? Could my wiring be burnt out? The new bulbs light up just fine. They had 3057 bulbs. After I put them back in the one burnt out and it took me a bit to replace it. It then started going off. I went and got new bulbs. I replaced with 3457 reading this is fine. The alarm is still going off. I pulled the horn fuse and circuit for now.

Thanks, and most of all my neighbors thank you!
