if you could just post up the pics of the wiring i think id be able to figure it out from there or it would give me a better idea. IMO it doesnt look like theres enough wires for the tail/brake/both turn signals so i never went ahead and bought it.

did your previous intergrated tail require any splicing?

The light I installed is a "Integrated tail-light" meaning that it functions as both the brake and turn signals as one. I dont know if the tail-light requires splicing since the previous owner had already done it. All I did was replace the old integrated light with a new one. There are enough wires for the mod, it did not seem that hard to do (and i'm not that mechanicaly able... lol )
The pictures I took while I did the mod are at the very beginning of the thread.

The stock tailight has a hook up for each light. The new intregrated will just use one. There will also be two wires coming out for the blinkers. And they hook up like this.

The colors for the integrated tail light are:

R = Red
Y = Yellow
B = Black

The colors for the stock tail light are:

GY = Green and Yellow
B = Black
G = Green

Connect them as follows:

R to GY
Y to B
B to G

For the blinkers connect the Yellow to the stock Blue connector and the Black to the Orange connector.

That should cover it. I have one of these on my F4 and on row of red Led's goes in and out. I'm guessing these are very cheaply made and have cheap circuit boards. My brother has one for his F4i and he hasn't had any problems yet. I'm guessing none of these tail lights will work properly with in a few seasons of use. They still look bad *** though.
