GREAT write-up! I used it tonight and had no issues! LOVE my new lights! THANK YOU!
this is an awesome write-up, i used it when i did my 99-01 amber tail swap. i liked the color break with the amber as opposed to the all reds. and like someone mentioned before, i've had a couple people convinced i had an earlier car lol
I have one concern that hopefully someone can explain...
It appears that the wire being tapped into feeds the 3rd brake light only which, being an LED light, is going to only have a very small amperage draw and thus has a very small gauge supply line.
The brake lights are using a total of 6 27 watt bulbs which will draw almost 14 amps on full load. The supply line being tapped into in this modification appears insufficient to manage that load.
This has been evidenced on a car with this mod showing substantial resistance at the connection point and melting of the insulating jacket.
On this note, what is the color of the wire in the main harness that originally fed the brake lamps? (There may be two as it appears the left and right utilize independent circuits).
Thanks
Ive been running mine for a couple years and had no problems at all and followed these directions.:shrug:Anyone else have long term issues? I have a set of Ambers I'd like to throw on our new Sonic.
I'm finally going to install my ambers this weekend, you hear that Justin! LOL
