Scroll to the bottom for the socket.

Also, here's a post from another thread that gives a step-by-step on modifying and installing a dual filament bulb.

I followed that post and it works just as advertised. Actually, I got an extra socket I modified if you're interested. Pics and info are in the post linked below. PM me if you're interested.

Hi OP seeing that father's day is coming up my kids asked me what to get me, toying with the rear fog light set up , can you elaborate were you hook up the lights to the brake and running lights, I want a direct connection no relays , would like to use it as a brake light regular light in simple terms, mechanically inclined but lack on the electronic stuff....thanks ( I've read most topics but they seem to jump around and not one really puts in in laymans terms cut green wire, tap green wire etc) thanks for your time

Default 4th Brake Light

Does "anyone" have instructions for THIS type of Rear Tail Light?
It has Running / Brake / Back-up functions

ThankZ in AdvanZ

I just got done installing this exact one actually. I used OP's instructions on how to access the wiring and everything.

If it's the exact one I got, then the rear tail light will have 4 wires. Red, Green, White, and Black.

The 370z's tailight has 5 wires. Red, Green, a tan/peach color, a teal color, and a black color.

Splice the wires like this.

Red -> Red
Green -> Green
White -> Tan/Peach color.
Black -> Ground

I'm 99% sure its White -> Tan/peach. It's the wire right next to the red wire.

I did hit a snag with getting the 2 10mm bolt from the dummy light. What I ended up doing was using a drill and just drilled it at max speed for a few seconds. It'll end up melting the plastic a little bit and it'll come right off.
