Default IDEA: Re-Wire OE Tailight Harness... more inside...

hey guys..

been thinking about the sequential lights, and to be honest one of the things that i mainly like about them, is that they utalize all 3 lights.. instead of just two..

so i was thinking.. what if there was a way to play with the wiring on the OE lights so that all three light up when you hit the brakes.. i would be satisfied with that instead of paying 125 for sequentials..

anyone have any ideas??

Probably wouldn't be too hard for someone who knows electrics. Buy a spare set of harnesses and start tampering around.

I think he wants to make it so all 3 lights turn on when he brakes?

he wants all three lights to come on when he hits the brakes, and signals and such. i'm sure it could be done, i'm just not sure how

however, I'd recommend going for the sequentials, because they'll look better, and you won't have to worry about ruining your stock wire harness

Yeah, if you ruin your stock harnesses you're screwed until you can get a new set. I'd just buy a good set like the WebElectrics that gives you a lifetime warranty and offers a $30 rebate when you sendthem backyour stock harnesses.

Yea but then again if he messes up the stock harness then he could go after the sequentials if the experiment fails
