LED Tail lights

[Ricky Bobby]

they wont work unless further mods are done, currently the solution is to tap into the TCM (trailer control module) to the rear fog lights and run a pin from a European fog light switch to the LCM at the front of the car.

However, there have been discussions for the guys that don't have the TCM (don't have factory tow hitch installed like me) to try to find the wiring diagram for rear fogs because there should be a factory connector somewhere in the spare tire area or at least a factory harness that is not used that should be the connections for the rear fogs.


Search pnoyako85's thread about when he installed a 15w HID kit in his rear fogs we have a discussion going on there. SlickGT1 has bought the european headlight switch so it is coming along, just like most of us on these boards life gets in the way and my mods and experimentation are sometimes months in the making.

i had posted somewhere the pinout for the rear fog lights recently in reference that the pins could be used to control something else and now can't find my own post... The rear fogs are coming to the rear of the car and controlled by the LCM with the help of the TCM, which is an extention module to the LCM...

Now, I can't remember in which thread it was and the search is of no help... If I find it, I will post a link...
