GX rear lower bumper reflector LED conversion

[RiDE]

Just got these lights in and was wondering how you guys wired them in? Which wire do I tap them into the rear tailights? Do i need a resistor or anything or do I just tap them into the brake light wires? Thanks in advance for the help.

I installed them on my IS last year, I believe they have the 3 wires. One goes to the ground, one rear lights, and one brake lights. (if you want them to be brighter when the brakes are hit)

I've had them laying around but haven't installed mine yet. I'm just going to run mine to the running lights and not the brake lights I think. We'll see how I feel when I actually install them. I'll probably just tap into the trailer wiring.

I tapped into the trailer wiring for them. I initially was gonna tap the tail lights but all the wiring is inside the truck and there is no good way to run the wires into the truck without a lot of hassle. So I just extended the passenger side and tied them together and then into the trailer harness. I have mine set up so if the truck is on/running the lights are on, kinda like DTRLs... And the. On wire I tapped into the brakes, and then the remaining wire(s) I tapped their corresponding turn signal. So the lights are on all the time, they get brighter when I step on the brakes, and when I turn the turn signals/flashers on.

If you want you can copy my set up... We can do another work party... I'll volunteer Bobby's place again lol
