Solved...Help '07 tailights conv (w/ pics !!!)

by **Sebas007** » Sun May 20, 2007 5:57 am

EDIT : for my white bulb the problem was just that the contact was not good...because I didn't push it completely back. I did this because stock bulb are easier to plug. So my wiring was good.

For the Flasher unit (changing resistor to avoir a fast blinking flasher).
I used a tiny screw driver and I push the track on the hidden face on the 4th picture. Imagine that the you see the bottom

---------------------

Hi all...I don't want to mess with the tutorial thread so I'm creating a new thread for me. I succeed to re-route the flasher on the brakes lights...brakes lights works too. The only weak point of my installation is the reverse light on the flasher wire. It says to switch the reverse with the flasher (make tottaly sense !!) but I think I did it right but doesn't work (I have new PIAA extreme white 7440 bulb installed)

I took a pic...I want to know if one of you, '07 tailight converted guys, can took a pic so we can compare !?

Left side

Right side

Right side upside-down

I just want to figure it out were your red wire is now on any side.

An other big question...do you guys plug the white wire (ground) from the converter to the car harness (white wire) ??? If you may show me how it is in your trunk...I would greatly appreciate !!

For those who use the LED bulb Flasher CF18-08 unit...how the hell you succeed taking it off !?? It is in the kick panel, aside of your left foot when you drive. I bought this (last of the page) http://superbrightleds.com/flashers.htm to make the flasher goes normally. The problem I dont find the proper way to take off the stock one !! :roll:

Here's the best pic I could took...

Here's the outside result (smoked tailights)

I don't know the answer to your question, but your lights look really good.

Although, I would probably find some black pearl emblems or paint them. IMO, it would look good since everything else is black.

You know what guys...if you can take a pic of your stock harness it would confirm me if I'm good or not. Just open your trunk and take off the "little window" (easy access)...or just un-screw the hook and open the wall to access the back of the light. Unplug the connector from the light and take a pic of the stock harness. I'll figure if I switch the wire at the right place.

Thanks a lot guys !

I am too busy looking at your pics.... The smoke looks great!!

What do you need again?

by **Sebas007** » Mon May 21, 2007 10:50 am

Thanks...it looks kinda like your black Solara (surely professional painting is better).

I need to see what is the positioning of your car harness wire (any side L or R) Just want to be sure that the red (reverse) wire is in the proper pin...becaase it doesn't work !! I want to validate if I switch the 2 wire correctly (reverse with the flasher)

Also I want to know if you plug the ground wire (white) from the car harness on the converter white wire back to the ground wire of the car harness ?? Because you indicates to not cut the ground wire if so I don't see how it is possible.

Thanks for some helping feed back !

No need to Plug the Ground from the converter, and all you do with the pins is switch them around and they will work.

I finally plug the ground on the converter.
Yeah, I switched it...just need to see what was the initial or final position.
Because the bulb can be broken...I may be in the wrong pin

Weird problem !! On my side I saw that the hazard blink normally and the flasher blink very fast (I didn't succeed to replace the resistor on the driver side in the kick panel)

I should solve that, very uncomplicated, problem this week !
