LED Tail Light Troubles

Man.. I tell ya.. That was a pain in the arse to put on. It took me and a friend about an hour to put it on. Had to extend the backup light on the driver side as usual, but the passenger side I had to extend the BRAKE light wire. Not the turn signal.. I had just enough to wedge in the turn signal. Boy did it take some work.. I'll get pics later..

I had to extend the turn signal and break light on the passenger side. 5 wires in all. On the drivers side I just had to extend the reverse wires.

Bennet,, the passenger side,, if you pop the rear panel out, you could've popped off the clip that's holding down the wiring harness and get that extra length. hehe..

i had the same problem with bennet. i took off the entire rear panel looking for ANY slack and didn't find one inch. I had to extend 5 wires on passenger side and 2 wires on drivers side. It's cool tho, i'm good with soldering it didn't take me long.
