Can anybody help me out with this "simple mod." I saw it on a HT member build thread. Here are some pics, but I'm still confused about the wiring.

HELP ME!


DIY CTR Brake Lamp Wiring.[/color][/size]




• Cut out the single bulb connector

• Replace with double contact pigtails (3 wires)

• Match the black wire and the red wire to there respective colors then run the ground and white wire to the brake and running light harness.

• Get your heat sink and sleeving then sauder and tape everything properly.

• Bolt your taillights back in and test them out! Both the bottom and top half should be running and also brake lamps.













replace this connector



with this one









Before.. As you can see, the usdm wiring harness only allows the top part of the tail lights to brightens when brake light comes on with.



The jdm wiring harness on the other hand allows both ends of the tail light to brighten when the brake is applied.

 

Anyone...

 

Looks like he spliced the green wire in with the existing green wire to the top light?

The top pictures all look like after shots. Did you look at the back of your light to see if the wiring was different?

 

Corrected what might be typos. Corrected text is in Green

 

I guess my question is, am I going to need a new socket and new bulb?

- The HT member used this double contact pigtail connector.
