JDM Taillight mod to ZZE123 Facelift Corolla

[enildeR]

Hey guys,

I have done some research and I have found alot of info on pre-facelift and facelift installs but noting ground and clear on modifiying it to work as both brake & tail/parker lights.

Because these mods have been done a long time ago, most of the build thread photos are all corrupt showing little info/diagrams.

It really does look simple but I wish for as little R&D seeing as many people have already mastered the JDM mod for facelift corollas.

Anyone help me in the right direction?

Many thanks :D

I've looked at a few on my phone and the photos did not load, presuming the hosted images where removed.

I can't see a link to the JDM Taillight mod in your signature hehe

wasnt hard to find, try workshop section very helpful.

as long as you tap into the existing bulb it should work the same way?

It doesnt specify whether it is for both brake light + taillight/parker. I think that is for just brake light.

I'm looking for a solution where they both light up when parkers are turned on and both light up when brakes have been applied.

Shouldn't be too hard but following instructions would make life easy :)

like i said if you tap into the original set wires for the original they act the same as the original bulb. ie brake lights and parkers. i worked for mine, minus the facelift housing because mines pre facelift

are you using an iphone ?

Yes Iam.

I guess I will just go and try my best at this, thanks guys, appreciate it for the help :)

Does think look right? When Parker's are on, it seems like the light is brighter than the brake light when brake pedal is not even pressed :/

[Kenshin X]

Nope. U wired the brake light on the extra bulb to the parker of the stock one LOOOOOOOOOL

[enildeR]

Yea... What do I need the change Kenshin X? lol Going to drive around like this until I find some more time #yolo

[kevinnguyens]

pre sure on the right side it should of been the middle plate not the top one

U see on the left the grounding conductor goes all the way around the housing and there is only one other conductor there? That's why only the brake (or parker if u are noob :p) goes on. U have to connect the wire from the parker on the stock bulb conductor to the extra bulb itself as tiet done above. There isn't any other way I'm afraid. I've done it too (also seen above) but a bit more neater than tiet :P

[enildeR]

I'm no electrician haha, anyone be able to use paint to edit my photo and show me where the wire should be?

Cruising with my mates tonight wasn't fun as they kept thinking I was on the brakes haha -_-

[kevinnguyens]

did you take a good look at the finished photo in the link i sent? pretty clear if you jsut compare the two
