LED Tail lights

[Dark5yde]

careful swapping wires. The pin layout is diff from driver side to pass side. At least it was on mine. my driver side was o---o- and the pass side was o--o-- I believe. So it does differ. So the pin #6 to pin #4 only worked in reference to my pass side.

All I did was move the blue/green wire from pin 6 to pin 4, kept my capactitors plugged in, and success! Everything works!!!!



YES you will need capacitors, buy them from Lightwerkz (contact info on their website) and plug them in, and I hope your tail harnesses are wired like mine were! Let me know if you have any other questions, and get some Solaris Invisibulbs for the turns/reverse lights to stealth it out in the rear

Thanks! I'll try this out and report back....

If possible, can you take pics of both sides? Just want to make sure I have it correct, you and Ricky Bobby have been an awesome help, thanks again

Pass. Side, take wire 6 (BK/WT-s)and move it to spot 4


Driver Side, take wire 1 (BK/GR-s)and move to spot 3


Another shot of driver side.

Thank you! Really appreciate this!

good teamwork guys hope that and the capacitors solve the problems! oh and be sure to get your cold and warm bulb checks coded off, you will have a "strobing" sequence at startup until you do so.

That doesn't bother me a whole bunch. Unless it detrimental to the lifespan.

it will be eventually, LED's do not like cold monitoring. I have mine for about a year and no ill effects yet but I am getting coding soon since i've heard other members have had them fail after a few years.

Just installed them. They look great. The caps did the trick. Thanks to Lightwerkz for a fantastic product. Very simple install, I followed my above pin switch as well as the instructions from lightwerkz. Instant good looks.
