Ebay Integrated Tail Light HELP!!! lol

ilovejesus · October 26th, 2012, 08:59 PM

So this is the integrated tail light I got.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/290756943413...84.m1439.l2649

Now I took off the old tail light and put on the new one. I plugged the basic connector in (major noob here) and now I'm left with these 2 yellow wires as shown in the picks from the product page.

What do I do?

Those are for the turnsignals that are in the light now...

Oh, btw, I love Jesus too

The oem turnsignal had two wires runing to them, each. One on each side is the postive wire and one is the negative. You need to figure out which one is which first. Then figure out which new, yellow wire powers the flasher on either side. Once you know which is the positive on a given side and which yellow wire corresponds to the proper side, splice onto the positve of that side.

does that make sense?

I'm new here and haven't looked but I'm sure someone has done a DIY on this...

That's the same one I got. OK, because it is LED you will need to get a Tridon EP34 LED flasher relay from your local auto parts store (~$10). If you also plan to add LED turn signals to the front, you will need to perform the diode mod.

Anyway, yes, the original turn signals have two wires each, but the integrated tail light has a common ground for the running light, brake light, and blinker functions, so only the hot wire is needed for each signal. Splice these onto your original turn signal wires and you're good to go.

So... Are the '08 tail lights the same as the '13? Or did you just post this in the wrong section?

Actually, they are the same connectors, right down to the color of the wires. The housing is different though.
