Ok - one more time, a little more clearer maybe:
On the EVO-R light there are three wires: Red (Steady On), White (Blinking), and Black (Ground) On the car there are four wires in the left (Driver's Side) tail light harness that could be used: Green (Brake), Red (Taillights), Orange (Reverse) and Black (Ground) If you put power (12V) to the WHITE wire on the EVO-R light, the light will blink. If you put power (12V) to the RED wire on the EVO-R light, it will burn Steady Black is the Ground Wire on both Car and EVO-R light wiring. You will need to connect the Black Wire on the EVO-R light to the Black Wire in the Tail light's Harness regardless of what else you do with the other wires. SO... 1, If you want the light to blink on Braking, Connect the WHITE EVO-R wire to the GREEN Tail Light Harness wire 2. If you want the light to Blink on Reverse, Connect the WHITE EVO-R wire to the ORANGE Tail Light Harness wire 3. If you want the light to burn Steady on Parking Lights On, then Connect the RED EVO-R wire to the RED Tail Light Harness wire ... I hope this clarified my previous convoluted post about all that. I wrote it just before I had to run out the door so it came out a little garbled....

Got it work I connet the WHITE wire form EVO-R to the Orange wire on the taillight then the Red to the RED and BLACK to Ground. Doesn't flash when on reverse. Thats ok I got it to work..I guess the orange it's reverse on my tail light harness.

Check make sure you have good connections on the White/Orange pair ...?

Thanks for the great write up!
One question though. I hooked up the flashing wire to the reverse light and the steady-on wire to the brakes. For some reason, the evo-r light is very dim with the brakes on and the LEDs do not light up evenly. When flashing in reverse, it is 2x brighter and the LEDs seem to light up evenly. All my connections look good. Is there anything that might cause the dim light that I'm not thinking of?

As far as the light being dim, that sounds a little off it should be fairly bright though I would also check my ground connection cars hate having crappy grounds. Also it will not get any brighter when you apply the brakes, it won't do that with out special electronics (which would be costly and I have yet to see any one do it yet, although my old man explained the process that would be needed and which electronic parts I would need.)
One Question though : you said that you wired the steady-on wire to the brakes. Now was this to the wire for the brake signal or for the night lights(turn you headlights/taillights on)? IMO because the fog light doesn't brighten with brakes applied, it is better just to tie it into the night lights so that way it just comes on and stays on rather then having it come n every time you hit the brakes because it looks cheap when it lights up but is no where near as bright as the rest of the brake lights.

The steady on is dimmer than the brightness of the flash... when produced it was means to match the dimmer tail lights when steady on, so the way you have it wired it will always mismatch (brakes brighter than steady on, tail lights brighter than nothing on obviously). Wire the steady on to the regular taillight, and wire the flash to the brakes/reverse... only way it will look 100% right in my opinion. If you want something to purely function as an additional brake light, go with the OEM one... it is brighter than the stock tail lights. |

I just used 3M tape on back of the fog light. Not have had any issue. Trick was not to use too much in case it had to be replaced. I didn't use the original housing where the screws go in....couldn't see how I was suppose to use that with fog light.

heelllp me please. !!!
i got the evo fog lights and i have no idea what to do with it. alright. mine didnt come with the wires loose like yours on the pic. they came all hooked to something which is a clip on (or appears to be) and i thought all you had to do was to clip on to something already in the car. anyways... the guys from the shop installed my stillen intake and the fog lights for me. my fog lights are on right now but it is NOT working =(. it isnt connected. they said i need some DI...something, so i can connect it and a switch -__- i dont want anything fancy. i ONLY want it to light up whenever i press the break. THATS IT !!!!. what the heck do i need to do ? |
