Exclamation 08 ISF Sequential Reflector Light install

Hello guys, currently trying to figure out the wiring for my reflector lights. I've searched on google and also our forums but have not found anything that indicate which wire i need to use. Any help will be very much appreciated!



This is what they look like, they are also sequential turn signal.



This is the instruction that came with the reflectors



4 Wires came with the Reflector lights White = DRL Yellow = Signal Red = Brake Black = Negative



Signal bulb and connector unplugged from tail light housing assembly


2 Connectors located nearby, Below.

Hi

I believe the wires are as follows

Led Reflector - > Wiring harness on car. = Function
____________ _________________ _________
Yellow wire -> Green and black wire = Signal
Black wire -> Black and white wire. = Ground
White wire -> Solid Green wire. = Running
Red wire -> Green and white wire. = Brake

You could test this using a volt meter by connecting the black wire of the meter to ground/chassis and having a helper push brakes or indicate etc and touch each wire of the harness above to check for a voltage e.g 12v, might be 5v? Usually 12 ish this will let you confirm each wire above.

I had a similar style of led reflector and that’s the wires I used after checking.

hope this helps!

very odd these are the correct wires, see this post... it’s for the older style without sequential indicator function so only has 3 wires, but the wires described in the post are the same ones mentioned above for the wiring harness colours.
