Default Tricky one electric and turninglights gt 2005

Hi
The backround is that in Sweden you canīt have red turninglights they have do be orange. This rearglasses are ugly. So there is a way to overcome this problem, i have the instrucktion for have to change at the rearlight. herit is.
i will copy it in here.. and se if it make any sense..

Conversion of rear lights Ford Mustang 2005
Remove the rear lights and watch the cable connection as shown below:

The original design has pins in the following function:
Pin no. Cable Colour Functions
1 Black Ground
2 Red / white brake / turn signals, external
3 Brown / red Position lights, middle
Brown / red Position lights, exterior
4 White / yellow Reverse Light
5 Red / White brake / turn signal, the middle
6 Blue / yellow position lights, interior



After modification of the Smart Junction Box (SJB) as Grufman-description and mounted
EU-approved lights, they have different pins following function:
Pin no. Function (from the car) Function EU lights
1 Ground Ground
2 Turn signal flashers, Turn signal flashers middle upper
3 Position lights -
4 Reversing light reversing lights, middle lower
5 Brake Light Brake light, exterior
6 Position lights Position lights, exterior
The inner red on EU lights are designed for fog lights and there sitting at delivery a 21W lamp.
An alternative is to replace this lamp against a 5W on and connect the cable (blue) to the wire
that goes to pin number 6 Then the position of light even on this inner light.
Now it would be nice to be able to - when you wish - change between
original lights and EU lights without having to switch cables and modify. or
In other words: "Plug and Drive!"
Do this with the original lights:
1 Cut the white / yellow wire (pin 4, reverse light) and red / white wire (pin 2, flashers).
2 Splice the loose white / yellow wire with the red / white cable from the connector (pin 2). this provides turn signals in back light.
3 Isolate the white / yellow cable from the connector (pin 4). The reversing light is lost thus.
4 Cut the red / white wire (pin 5, brake).
5th The loose red / white wire coming from pin 2 spliced with red / white cable from the connector
This gives the pin 5th brake lights.
6 Insulate the loose red / white wire coming from the connector pin 5th
The bulb that filled the function reverse lights changed to an orange ditto because its new
task lights.
Original lights will shine for this as follows:
Position light on inner, middle and outer.
Brake lights of the outer.
Flasher where it was reverse lights (clear glass).

this is kind a messy i can email it to you as a worddoc.

What i need help with is hove to change in the SJB
Anyone know how ??
Thanx!

Google switchback LED bulbs, try an amber and white one. May need to wire in resistors and play with a few wires but seems alot easier than digging into the SJB. The white ones will show through as red in the tail lights, the amber ones may be orange enough to make the cops leave you alone. Id try it out.

Theyre basically bulbs with 2 color of leds. Amber goes off for flashing (turn signal), white for steady (brake lights).
