I don’t think I need running lights. They are on right now and show up on the dash. But just my brake light doesnt work.
Amazon Amazon
i don’t know if these would work

If you dont need running lights then as Demon says just undo the Orange/White and the Lightblue/White from the connector , as they are pushing power through the circuit, the rear should return to normal

so in theory couldnt I just cut the wires on the harness before the connector?

Yes you could but thats your decision,just make sure its the Blue/white and Orange/White though, if you were to go back to stock though you would still have to do the wiring,was there not a 3 wire option for the flush mounts,

no there wasnt a 3 wire option. I may just buy a new right side blinker and use that connector.

Might be a better option than butchering the wiring

what if I just broke off the prong on each connector that is correlated to the wire I don’t need connected

Yes you could do that, but just remember these wires when uncovered will be live once you turn the ignition on and will have to be capped/covered so they dont touch anything

yeah but the wire would still be in the connector, so, really the connection between the two connectors would technically be a cover
