I installed mine over the weekend and a comedy of errors happened.

First off, I used the instructions that came with the part. That was mistake number one. Here is how the instructions say to wire:


Everything is correct except the white wire. As the OP posted, and for some reason forgot the thread existed even though I posted in it, the white wire goes to the green and white factory wire.

After hooking everything up and having my wife come out and hit the brake and put it in reverse I finally looked here and saw the error of my ways.

That evening as I am moving the cars back in the garage I notice that my left rear running light is out. Mistake number two and fanfuckintastic. Sunday afternoon I start ripping everything out again to check all the wiring. Sure enough, one of the connections came loose. After neatly packing the wires back together, I used roughly 6000 linear feet of electrical tape to make sure it doesn't come loose again.

I bought the smoke lens option. If anyone is interested I can take some pics of day and night so you can see.

The lesson here is use this thread as the install instructions.

Side note: There is a bracket the is connected to the frame that holds the bottom of the bumper in place. I found it easier, albeit a little more time consuming to remove the bracket. It is held into place by three of the plastic push clips. By removing the bracket you are able to get a socket onto the nuts that hold the reflector in place. The factory put roughly 15 metric tons of locktite on the two nuts holding it in place, thus my need to remove the bracket.

hi. i have question. while i open the tail light and wire everything, everything light up, work like it suppose to.

but after i put evething back, the tail light itself not light up. like when you start the car and turn on headlight. no tail light. brake and reverse is ok.
what should be checked.

you're probably shorting a connection when you put the tail light back in place. Double check and make sure there's no bare wires anywhere

i just checked. no bare wires. i have cut wires short a little bit. that what you mean. every wire connect. only no tail light (both) not on. i just think somewhere else loose but not sure

I bought my foglight from amazon, but I've noticed that I'm missing one bolt on the back where the nut would be. Was it yours like that too?

I love my iJDMtoy light. Attaching to the harness was tricky because of so little play in the stock wiring. But it looks awesome.

My evo r light just burnt out I think... it started flashing wildly and now it won't turn on soo time to try this one.
