Post by LaidNeon » Thu May 13, 2004 2:47 am

This how to will convert your reverse lights to your blinkers & your 3rd brake light to your reverse light.

*****Read everything first & make sure your understand everything!!!*****
*****I cannot be held accountable if anything goes wrong after or before doing this procedure.*****


Heres what you need:
Butt Connectors
Splicers
4' Of Wire
Clear 3rd Brake light (recommended)
Wire Cutters
Electrical Tape (optional)

You can buy the clear 3rd brake light here:

Steering Column
1] Take the cover off the steering column & there should be a plug with 20 or so wires running to it & unplug it. (on top gray plug)
pin 1] White/Tan
pin 2] Light Green (left turn signal)
pin 3] Red/White
pin 4] Green/Red (left tail that you cut)
pin 5] Brown/Red (right tail that you cut)
pin 6] Tan (ight turn signal)
2] Cut the GRN/RD wire & tap splice into the LG wire (DO NOT CUT THE LG WIRE!!)
3] Cut the BRN/RD wire & tap splice into the TN wire (DO NOT CUT THE TN WIRE!!) Connect the plug back after this


Left "drivers" Taillight
4] Stop/Turn plug there should be three wires: Black (ground) Black/Yellow (taillight output) & Green/Red (turn brake)
5] For the reverse plug there should be 2 wires: Black (ground) & Purple/Black
6] Cut the Green/Red wire & Prurple/Black wire & then connect them using a buttconnector (Be sure to leave about an inch or 2 of wire left on the plugs)

Right "passenger" Taillight
7] Stop/Turn plug there should be three wires: Black (ground) Black/Yellow (taillight output) & Brown/Red (turn brake)
8] For the reverse plug there should be 2 wires: Black (ground) & Purple/Black
9] Cut the Brown/Red wire & Prurple/Black wire & then connect them using a buttconnector (Be sure to leave about an inch or 2 of wire left on the Stop/Turn plug)

3rd Brake Light
10] On the plug there should be 2 wires: White/Tan (brake light output) Black (ground)
11] Trace the wire down the trunk arm & they should go all the way to another plug. Cut the White/Tan wire leaving 1" - 2" on either side.
12] For the White/Tan wire coming from the 3rd brake light, Add about 1' - 1.5' of wire and use a butt connector & connect it to the Purple/Black wire from the left taillight(Should be the wire that was connected the to the reverse plug)
13] Now the other side of the White/Tan wire add again 1' - 2' of wire and use butt connectors to connect it to the Green/Red wire on the Left Taillight Plug.
14] Use a butt connect & about 2.5' - 3' of wire connected to the Brown/Red wire on the Right Taillight Plug & Tap Splice it into the newly added wire for the Green/Red wire of the Left Taillight Plug.
