Default Update: anzo tail lights with night pics after install

Hey guys I'm in the process of installing my Anzo tail lights on a 2009 tC this morning. Got everything off and I'm just trying to connect the wire harness. Can anybody please help me???

The harness doesn't seem to match the harnesses of the Anzo tail lights... HELP!!!

All of them should connect except for the low beam.. the problem is the anzo's are made for the 05-07's which is a 9006 connector and you have an 09' tC which is an h11 connector thats why its not working.you could get a set of HID's which i would recommend :o. I havent been able to find a connector yet though.....

Can you describe how the harness doesn't match up? Too many plugs? Wrong shaped plug?

Also did you buy the tail lights new or used?

He is doing his taillights though. Not the headlights.

Ok everything is working but the brake lights. Is there a fuse for the brake lights? Just wanna check in case I didn't blow it. Already checked the manual but didn't see a fuse specifically for the brake lights. Below is a picture of the wire harness.

EDIT: the picture below is the correct way for the install. I blew a fuse switching the polarities.

Page 263. Number 45. "45. STOP 10 A: Stop lights, high mounted stoplight, shift lock control system, multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system, anti-lock brake system"

Also, do not test with a meter. I had a friend call me about his xD and a fuse on Sunday, he used a meter and the fuse was only slightly blown. and the meter was reading OK. Just do it the old fashion way by pulling it and looking at it. My friend wasted 3 hours looking for the dumb fuse.

Oh and if you messed up this fuse, I think you would know due to the fact it controls fuel injection and ABS.

Good Luck.
