So i am going from stock tails to smoked anzos, and i have no clue on how to hook them up... they dont have the same harness as the old stock lights, i don't know how to put the backup lights in..

Here are some pictures of the connections:



The black ones are from the tailights, the white one is from the car...



Thats the old harness from the old tails



and thats a box that i have no clue what it does. i think its a backup battery? idn...



Anyone have any insight on how to hook them up?

 

the reverse lights are from the car...the anzos have no reverse so u just take the entire reverse off the stock and put it on the anzo's

 

ya but what wires do i use and how do i hook them up to the harness?

 

you hook up the black clips to the oem harness, then i think you plug the box in to the car

 

just imagine the connections as "bulbs".... plug them in as such.

 

well the stock harness has six slots, whereas the anzo lights has 2 plug in connectors that would not fit into the oem harness

 

are the wires the same as the stock wires? can i just cut everything, strip them and connect them w/o a harness?

 

fix ur sig,
now lol

 

You're going to re-use all of the wiring from the stock lights. The black plugs on the Anzos plug into the light bulb sockets of the OEM wiring.

I think polarity matters too, so make sure you test every function before you put your car back together.

 

you have to unplug the stock harness from the stock lights and use the anzo harness . thats how i did mine

 

but the black plugs just dont go into the harness... where do they plug in... im obviously missing something here... i need a step by step on how to do this lol...

 

1.Take the wiring completly out from the stock taillights. 2. Pull the bulbs out from the stock wiring harness. Now where you pulled the bulbs from is where you plug the black anzo plugs into. Remember which one is the blinker bulb and which one is the break bulb. The black plug on the anzos that is towards the top is the blinker and the one on the lower part is the break. Make sure you plug everything in the proper way or you may blow fuses.

 

No cutting at all..........the new harness in the Anzos goes into the old bulb harness......not the connector that goes to the bulbs.....unplug a bulb and you will get it.

 

haha i just figured it out! im i retard!

Thanks for everyone's help btw

 

Don't worry........I was tripping too when I saw them for the first time and was like where does this go.......glad you did not cut any wires......never cut wires......it is a bad thing......specially with brake lights and headlights......

 

anglhellictc please fix ur sig its unnecessarily large

 

]i got these tails the other day. i cant find a way to put them onthese is my stock harnessthese are the harness from the new tailights. these is the plug from my stock harness ok can someone show me step by step how to put them on. i took off the light bulb and i plug in one of the wires from the new tailights,what or where does the second wire go in ????this is the second pair i gotten cuz i thought the first ones werent for an 05 scion. i have an 05 scion tc and my girl has an 06 the stock harness are the same and i cant find a way to put them on what do i do??

 

What's up with the teeny tiny plug on the stock harness?

Hook the stock harness back up. You will use ALL of the stock wiring.

The bulb holder for the reverse lights will be installed in the new tails.

The black flat plugs from the new tails will plug into the bulb sockets from the stock wiring.

Polarity counts if I remember correctly, so if something doesn't work, try flipping it around.

 

well that is my stock harness in the pic maybe am missing something, but the other l.e.d lights i got in the car,that the dealer has available wit the orange stripe. it fits them perfect am gonna have to look for the harness then.

 

I can almost understand what you're saying! You know, if you post asking for help, the least you can do is form sentences for us.

I think you have the TYC tails that are a dealer option?

They apparently have a different harness than the stock tails. That tiny plug must hook up to the LED section of the TYC's.

So, you will need the standard version of that harness to hook up the aftermarket tails.
