WIRE SPLICING INSTALLATION

6. Tuck and secure the spliced wires.
Take the spliced sections and fold them over to one side
and tape them in place. This will allow you to place the
wiring into loom or wrap the LED panel wiring tightly away.

Take the LED harness
YELLOW
wires and splice them in with the original
BLACK
running
light wires. The ends going to the side marker lights must be included in the splice for
the side markers to remain functional.
Take the ground wires and connect them all together. Bolt them to the trunk latch
support along with the original rear body harness ground.
Note: A good ground connection is essential to the operation of the LED tail lights.
An
ORANGE
power wire is supplied along with a T-Tap. The orange power wire must be
supplied with a constant 12 volt battery supply for the LED circuitry to operate properly.
The T-Tap connector is used to splice to the constant power source, like the dome light wire.
Spice the T-Tap connector into the constant power wire, then plug the orange wire into
the T-Tap. The other end of the orange wire is spliced into the LED harness Orange wires.
The last page is a wire diagram of how the LED harness splices into the car’s original harness.

To keep the wires neatly tucked and in line, take the spliced sections and fold
them over to one side and tape them in place. This will allow you to place the

Wrap with tape to hold in place.
To keep the wires neatly tucked and in line, take the spliced sections and fold
them over to one side and tape them in place. This will allow you to place the
wiring into loom or have the ability to wrap the LED harness wiring tightly away.
1. Fold wires to
one side.
2. Secure with
electrical tape.
The LED light kits are designed for best performance when
use an electronic no-load flasher. Shown here is an
optional electronic no load flasher available from DIGI-TAILS,
( PN 20-F2 )
Note
If you decide to use a stock bimetal flasher, we recommend a standard-duty flasher instead
of a heavy-duty flasher. If your turn signal circuit includes front and rear LED turn signals, the
circuit will not have enough resistance load to operate a heavy-duty bimetal flasher, so the
no-load flasher will be required for both the turn signal and emergency flashers.
5. Supply the LED panel harnesses with a constant 12 volt
feed using the included
Orange
power wire and T-Tap.
An Orange power wire is supplied along with a T-Tap. The
orange power wire must powered with a constant 12 volt
battery supply for the LED circuitry to operate properly. You
can use the included T-Tap connector to splice to a constant
power source, like the dome light, trunk light, fuse box, etc.
Spice the T-Tap connector over the constant power source,
then plug the orange wire into the T-Tap. The other end of
the orange power wire is tied in with the orange wires of
all the LED panel harnesses.
