My 2010 roadster came with the wire installed. Also, the old "blank" came out without a problem ... no issues with getting the nuts off. Maybe I'm just good at getting my nuts off.
Does anyone know exactly where that wire comes out? Details??? Pictures??? |
Ok well I will try to get some pictures up of my install. I also intend on tinting all the rear lights as I will be disassembling alot of the panels back there already. Oh boy....
|
Hey hopefully someone can help, I'm mid install, have the fog in place and all the panels off. All that's left is the actual wiring. As I'm no electrician I don't even know where to start. What should I wire it up to? I don't really know what a crimp is, and do I need extra wiring?? If someone knowledgable is available help a brother out haha.
|
If you just want it to cut on with your brake lights and make it is as simple as possible just splice the green wire going into your tail light and run it to the red wire on the fog light. Then just ground the black wire from the fog light on that big nut in the back of your trunk with all those ground wires on it.
|
So I finished the install will post some pictures in a little bit. Quick question. After disconnecting the battery, my windows go down a half inch when I open the doors but do not go back up once they're closed. There some simple fix
for this?? |
Found the answer in another thread. That search function is a doozy eh?
|
:D indeed it is lol
|
Ok, I got my light in, bolts were a pain, went down to Home depot and purchased a pen type Bernzomatic torch $7.95 and fluid $2.99. Heated them up for about 10 sec. and they came right off. Have to be careful not to go to long because I melted the housing a bit on one side. :icon17:
I've decided to just do the 4th brake light for now, I have the factory harness going to the dummy box, can someone tell me what would be the easiest way to make this work? Should I just bypass that and go to the tail light "green" wires and then ground the black, or is it easier to tap in higher up by the trunk firewall ? I've read through the entire thread, but I'm still not clear what would be the best way to go about it. Like I said, I do have the wiring harness going to the dummy box, so................:confused: thanks :tup: |
Skip the dummy box. Run both wires into the trunk through the plug on the driver's side. It pops right out. From there you are right at the grounding point and the green brake wire is in the loom.

Yep. It's right underneath the jack tray by the driver's tail light. Here is a picture of the plug removed and the wires exposed. You can also see the grounding point in the upper left of the picture.

Thanks CB :tup:
Got it all hooked up, have a 4th brake light now :tup: I'll probably ad the relay to do the flashing and reverse, but I'm good for the moment. :tup: |
Do I need to disconnect the battery just for this simple mod?
|
Anytime you do electrical work and splice wires it's a good idea to unplug the battery.
