Once you have done that the high filament in all 4 bulbs on each side lights up when you brake or turn. The new center left and center right high wires are spliced into the outer left and outer right high wires where they run through the trunk near your battery. The low and ground wires plug into the original harness. The replacement wiring harness that Bo sold me has 4 wires low, ground, left high, and right high. The center 4 tail lights have two wires low and ground. The outer 4 tail lights have three wires low, high, and ground. These are dual filament bulbs with a 'low beam' and a 'high beam' for the driving and brake lights, except that our cars aren't set up to use the high filament in the center 4 bulbs. All eight tail lights use the same bulbs 3156 or 3157. He also made a non-sequential kit for a few of us. He used to be a vendor here, and correct me if I'm wrong, I think he sold the first sequential tail light kits on this forum. That kit did not exist when I started, so that is why I did not go with it.īo hasn't made a post here in about a year, don't know where he is now. I am out about the same amount as that kit, so it probably would have been worth it for me. I have paid for two Webelectric kits and a lot for the replacement LED bulbs to get my taillights performing the way I want. I posted the other kit from E-bay, because even though it is more expensive it looks and seems to perform more professionally. It has been said that the system was not designed to handle all the lights on at the same time. I am glad I switched to LED bulbs because it should help with the longevity of my electrical system. I am happy with the performance of the newer kit. I would drive around and people would stop me and tell me that my taillights were messed up. I found that the original kit would respond differently when in Drive than when in Park. ![]() If I let my hazards run for a long time the lights that time out are not the correct ones, and half of the lights will start sequencing. ![]() The new kit is a lot more predicatable, but mine is still not perfect. I will probably send the original kit back to be repaired, so I have a spare. Webelectric will fix the issue if you contact them, but I did not want to go back to the original harness, so I ordered the newer kit when it came out. If you do a search on this site, some others experienced this also. They cut off more lights if you left them flashing for a while and they would lose synch a lot. I must say that I have both kits and the older kit was not reliable for me. About six months to a year after they came out, they adjusted them so they do not sequence now. The original kit from Webelectric sequenced when you hit the brakes and when you put the hazards on. It actually depends on how old your kit is.
