How to install your LED Tails.

We had a nice little thread on TF, and I figured I'd make a new one since the tails don't come with any instructions.

For this model, they have a clear version and a red version. Both come normal or smoked.

When you install your taillights, I would suggest numbering you light sockets and writing the corresponding # on the housing, just incase you need to install your old tail and to make things easier.

There are two metal clips that the screws catch on. These are located on your old taillights. You will pull these off, takes a little muscle and prying. But be careful, so you don’t break the plastic on your taillights.

When you hook up the harness' you want to follow the order above.
The Running lights/Brake light will be at the top.
The Blink will be in the middle.
The reverse light will be at the bottom and you will use the bulb for this.

If your lights aren't working check your fuses under the hood. I had a problem with my brake light switch, and it needed to be replaced.

(Don't remember his name off the top of my head, but on TF.com he had a little wiring diagram to have both the blinker and brake light to work in unison like the esky lights) Hopefully he'll join up and chime in.

Are yours smoked....they look a little dark but not too bad. How's the daytime brightness?

I like the pic of the stock and new tails in place, shows the difference well.

Please explain how the esky tails blink.

Thanks

There's no problem seeing them, from behind they look like this.
The LED light reflects in the housing.

Notice how only the top section is lit up. With the Eskys I believe the whole light lights up and blinks (both sections), With the LEDs only the middle section will blink while the top stay on constantly.
