Ok, now for the drivers side, I have no idea where the plug is?
What i thought to be the plug, happens to be pluged into a green and black set of wires that goes back into the harness, and they are a thiner gauge.

So i tried to tap the drivers license plate light into the 12v source from the tail lights to see if it would work, and it just shorts out and the lights go off, until you untap em...

so im trying to figure out where the source is.

by the way, ive fitted LED cluster for the license plate lights , 1 on each tail light assembly

People have used them

 

Ill look at it some more tomarrow, I just need to know where does the drivers side wiring plug into?

 

Pics?

Sorry, don't have an answer for your question. I haven't taken a look at the wiring on this part of the car. To be honest, thats the last part of my car I'd want to make more visible.

 

ok if it will help, tomarrow ill post some pics

 

some pics of the driver side
you can see i got some crimped plugs thinking i would tap it somewhere




what is this? this matches the plug on the passanger side but its plugged into a wire that goes back into the main harness... i tried tapping into it for the light but that obiously didnt work.


Heres the passangers side all good to go

 

nvm i got it big pimpin




I still dont know what that plug is for though..

 

Damn that pic makes that spoiler look HUGE!

So what did you tap into for that led?

 

i unpluged the green/black set of wires and plugged the light to the red/black set..
