wiring the toyota tails question
Tuesday, December 25, 2007 9:12 PM
I read the post by projectwyldfyre on how to wire up the toyota tails. My question is on step #11. What kind of wire would I need when connecting the white wire form the 3rd brake light to the tails. Is there a certain type of wire or size? Thanks for your help.

ok got one more...lol. i cant seem to find the white wire in the steering colum. since the wire i need to splice into is a brown wire for the 3rd brake light do i still have to cut a white wire in the colum and should this white wire be in the blue harness thats in the pic by projectwyldfyre has posted up?

easy method

match the like colors, then the odd one is the brake.

before you cut the white wire in the column, test. Make sure the lights/brakes/turn come on as they should (the amber at this point will act as a brake light as well, but ignore that)

Then cut the last wire.
