I’m laughing at my self. Had to “phone a Friend” Led Brake light install. Simple Right? First step take off the rear fender! Yup when your running big wheels like me you need to make sure the tail light wires are ran super close to the inner fender. If they are not run in a certain path the wheel will rub on the harness and drama will ensue. So fender is off. And on the work bench. The new lights have 3 wires. Red, Black, White A normal person would think Red is running light Black is Ground, White would be Brake/Turn **NOPE** After scratching my head, White = Ground Black = 12v running lights Red = Brake & Turn For the conversion on your 08 or newer car it breaks down like this Drivers side \*\*tail light \*\*. **Car** RED. go’s to. Blue/Grey BLACK go’s to Blue/Purple WHITE go’s to. Black Passenger side RED = Black/Blue WHITE= Black BLACK = Purple /Blue ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/4/432b5d2ebbb5e7c7992bb2ba05d7993b67a99499.jpeg) ---

I know the photo in this link is wrong but this is exactly what I bought. The seller must have mixed up the photo. But this is the exact link from when I bought them. > **[Amazon.com: Maxxima M42206R 14 LED Red Ultra Thin 0.4" Low Profile Stop Tail...](https://www.amazon.com/Maxxima-M42206R-Ultra-Profile-Light/dp/B00EZ4F7YG/ref=redir_mobile_desktop/146-4152357-6805561?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title&th=1)** ---

Strange/Update; I just put a set of these on my 2008, Good news the tail light wires are the same colors on the 08 as the 2013 The strange part is when I ordered the lights the check out total was $0.00 then I noticed a second order for the same tail lights (looked like I ordered twice) well 2 tail lights showed up in 2 separate boxes with 2 different tracking numbers. “sum ting Wong”
