Default 2013 GS tail light wiring diagram to install Rear bumper LED lights.

Hello.. Been years since I been on here.. I am back in a Lexus for the first time in 3 years.. Love my GS350 F Sport.

I have an LED rear bumper light I am trying to install.. The hardware part I can do. The wiring............ Well that is a different story. I am tryin to figure out the wiring so when I turn my tail lights on, The LED will come on too.. Also of course when I brake I want that too work too.. I figured out that part tho "black wire" connects to the "black and white wire" and "White wire" goes to the "White wire" I hope I am right... Mines comes with a "red wire". Well the harness had a "blue wire" on the right side and a "yellow" wire on the left side. The 4th wire on the harness is "green".

Please anyone that knows about this can chime in.. I appreciate it..

i saw the one about the GS. The IS talks about a red wire. Don’t have that.

@Jarion had the wiring from someone that linked him from FB. Ill ask him to look at the thread. I installed both swaps, and he wired.

BTW: I still have my 13-15 Tails like new, not a scratch on them. If someone want to buy to do a project let me know. They are perfect. The harness was Not cut.

I don't have these but i've used iJDMToy products and they usually make decent aftermarket stuff (note: no turn signal function): https://store.ijdmtoy.com/products/l...flector-75-438

I used them as well for my fog lights.. I dont need them to have a turning signal. Just to have the light go up when stopping and have them running when the tail lights are actually on.

Tail Light Converter 3 to 2 wire- 24in Length (Pack of 1) https://a.co/d/cG8JzQs

Use this to wire the 2 light sources to 1 led bumper light. You could also use 4 diodes (2 per side) to get the same effect and stealthy install.....

Hopkins 48955 Towed Vehicle Diodes Kit https://a.co/d/bLkBvPV

This is 1 diode box per light....
