Jookiyaya,

Thanks for your help but I am still confused. The five wire harness you talk about - is that the harness that goes to the back lights (have to remove one of the back side panels to get to it) or is it located somewhere else? Also, someone mentioned the wires that come out of the hole with the gromet as being those from the fog light. The way you have it connected will turn the fog light on when in reverse and act as a brake light?

the harness that connects your tail lamps yes. if you slice the plastic protector you can see the wire bundles.

im not sure about the grommet hole, but the connector harness from the oem fog light does connect where it should be, it's just we usdm Z's dont have the stalk on the steering wheel column to turn it on.

as far as the fog light in reverse , thats a relay thing. ive never seen a rear fog light turn on when you are in reverse as oem, although it makes since, the bright white lights and the extra red in fog situations.....

I have my fog light tapped into the orange wire from the tail light harness so it turns on in reverse. I'm still working on hooking up the relay and flasher so it will flash while in revers...and will do a switch to manually turn it off and on at night. I have pics on page 5 showing which wires from the foglight harness before the grommet in the firewall to tap into. Your reference to your last sentence(s)...yes that is coming from the foglight harness. So instead of cutting off the foglight connector and wasting that clean connection, I tapped into the wiring further up before that grommet. If you want both reverse and brake, it needs to tap into the orange and dar green wire from tail lamp...don't know if you need a relay for this, didn't try this configuration.
