Default PLEASE HELP - Aftermarket Tail Lights Wiring

Ok, so Spyder makes these awesome looking black Tail lights with LED that I wanted...in order to save $65 I got the same exact looking tail lights on ebay however im sure they arent actually "Spyder" Brand

http://www.ebay.com/itm/380566591230...84.m1497.l2649


here is the listing I recieved them today and when I got in to replace they FIT perfect but those two black plugs dont plug into anything on my car so how am I supposed to wire these?

its rather simple but is there a harness I can get that will connect these two plugs to my tail light power harness or will I have to wire these things by splicing into it?

the top light section has a 3 wire (red/white/black) and bottom is just 2 (Red/black) molded into a simple plug of some sort

Thanks in advance for any insight

pull the harness from your old tail lights those two black plugs fit into the bulb socket part of the stock harness then it all plugs back into the car.

I did take a quick picture after I installed with the lights on (not brake depressed) and daytime so they dont seem that bright but trust me they are....

I love them and from far away they look even better is the old red lights just stood out so much compared to these and the slick look they give the entire back end a makeover it seems.

Im sure they would look great either way, I got my car tinted recently as well - if I had white I might go with smoked lense rather then the black but either one will look great - the ebay link shows on white car

heres a link to smoked set
http://www.ebay.com/itm/08-10-SCION-...-/130867773567

also the black set I just bought dropped down in cost a bit since I bought em

I had that set on my xb2 for two years, zero issues, and I remember I chose the least expensive ones listed, was very happy with them, only got rid of them when I brought my car back to stock.

compared to the expensive tyc ones from trd that I'v also had that blew out the led's all the time

They look great! Super bright and really changes the whole flow of the back end without the sore thumb big red lights.

Ill take a picture this evening though and post it
