I was nervous about cutting the wires but I finally said forget it, just do it. My main question is for those who have done it, where did you put your converter/adapter? I don't know whether to zip tie the excess and double stick tape it somewhere. I appreciate your ideas/help.

Thanks
Brad

I will get pictures up sometime tomorrow!!

I have a quick question, I searched but didn't find anything. My new taillights work fine, but today I noticed that when I hit my key fob to unlock/lock doors the taillights/front blinker doesn't flash. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks
Brad

Yeah I just followed the tutorial. The only thing that I did different was instead of pulling the reverse wire and switching with the signal wire, I just connected the reverse wire to the wire I was supposed to swap it with. After I got over cutting the wires it was fairly straight forward.

PM me Ruski I re wrote the connections to dumb it down for me so it might work for you! Yeah, I really like the tails, but no one has asked about the shifter. It is from a 2010 Camry Sport, it is a little bulkier than the stock and obviously is wrapped leather and feels so much nicer than the stock crappy one.

Don't zip tie the converter it gets hot..... just dump it down the side...
