So I'm a bit confused still.... I chopped my fender and ditched the rear brake light, I have the run turn brake module installed. What I want to do is ditch the rear circuit board all together and just wire my tail lights into the main harness that ran inside the fender....is this possible? If so which wires from the harness do I want to connect the black and violet wires coming from each tail light to?

I tried everything in the world to get those pins out of the plug, paperclip.. everything.. could not get them to budge!

Wire 1 is ground, Wire 2 is basic light and Wire 3 is brighter light. Turn signals are dumb units, meaning, they only do what they're told. If you are trying to run a turn signal and then hit the brakes Wire 3 will stay on negating the flash.

Actually, I just found this pic. I didn't remove any wires from the module. I removed the unnecessary wires from the stock tail light harness that plugs in to the module. This is the harness that runs down the fender.



The brown wire will now run straight to the violet wire on the RIGHT side turn signal. The violet wire will now run straight to the viloet wire on the LEFT side turn signal. The black wire is a ground so that wire will need to be split and run to both turn signals.

Leave the BLUE wire if you want to leave yourself a constant power for the license plate light. I removed it because I drilled a hole in the bottom side of the red lense and light shines down onto the plate for plenty of night time plate lighting.

This is for a 2004. I'm pretty sure yours should be the same...or similar enough.
