spyder taillights brake warning

[blackx]

Got the new spyder taillights in. Getting the brake warning message. I read up on the other posts about switching the pin 6 to 4 . but mine are 12345 with have connectors. The sheer lights have 2345 pins. I have a preface lift. Any ideas?

LED or regular?
Did you have someone step on the brake and you check to see if they light up? Is the 3rd brake light working?

regular lights . bought all new bulbs. the message reads check break lights and check rear lights

Do they work when you visually inspect them on the car? light up when someone stepping on the brake?
I'd clean the connectors and plug in again, and make sure it is tight.

Have you verified all the lights work properly in the rear first? I.E. get someone in the car, turn on the parking lights to verify the running lights work, then step on the brake lights as well. If they light up fine, then we need to do some troubleshooting here.

Everything worked with the OEM lights prior to install. On the spyders I get the turn signals and the driving lights. Brake light which is the bottom never lights up when pressed .. Here's my OEM connector and the spyder pins.

You have the LED tail lights or the regular halogen bulb lights? (you would know if you had the LED versions)

Regardless, I think you need to swap a pin somewhere. When I first hooked mine up the parking light function of the brake lights didn't work, they only lit up when I pressed the brakes.

He said he had regular ones.
Blackx, you forgot the pics. Take close-up shot of the pins on both.

First pic is OEM connection. Second is pins from spyder lights

Obviously the Spyder taillight connector is missing pin #1. I guess that would be the brake light connection.
Test and find out which one of the 2345 pin is the brake light connection, then move it to #1 to see if brake light work.
