I just installed my JDM tails tonight.. To check if they are working, i turned on the ignition and i noticed that when on the park position, one light on the driver side tail does not light up but both the passenger tails, lights up. I am talking about the red lights so only three lights light up but when i step on the brake all of them light up brighter. Is this normal or should all 4 of them light when i'm in park position?

No it only looks orange when the blinker/hazards are lit. Otherwise it looks white. That's the custom part so far. I was alittle cautious on it too but it took me all of 2 hours to decide to pull them back out and install the 4th bulb. I didn't get the harness cause I got them from Kodak in exchange for a full rewiring job on his audio system and some Fosgate 6.5"s installed in the rear. Pretty fair exchange for both of us since he also got my USDM tails which were almost brand new and looked perfect. So the JDM harness only has 3 bulbs?
BTW - Might not light up the red around the blinkers as it will probably not be too uniform. We'll see. But I'm definetly doing it around the back up lights - plenty of room to work in there.
thanks for the props. You want a how-to when I'm done? I could take pics for each step. If you only have 3 bulbs I could show you where to wire in the fourth one and the LEDs for around the back-up light. Or you could use the stock USDM harness like I did.
