Title: How to Install New Tail Light Smoked in 696?
Post by: renanmedeiros on October 20, 2010, 02:56:28 PM
Hello, I bought from ebay a new LED tail light smoked with built in turn signals.
However, the harness came with two wires blue and yellow.
Do you guys know how to install since there are two instead of four wires?
Thank You.

Are you sure that you got the one with the turn signals? I had something similar happen - I "purchased" the one with turn signals and "got" the one without. I only found out when I contacted the mfg (Clear Alternatives) and they swapped it for the correct one.

Here's what mine looked like with all the correct wires:

If I'm not mistaken......

The center plug is for running and brake light.
The other two are for blinkers, one wire for each side (ground is probably taken care of through the center plug)
