Jdm's with additional Brake light Options

[JACSSX]

hey guys,

as i have been lazy as hell, hence my lack of posts.... but i put some time aside for the celica



sick and tired of your jdm's...................... not getting the most out of your tail lights.... i was

so i decided to do some wiring



this is what Jdm look like when you parker/ headlights are on - without braking.




if you have Jdm taillights you will know they there are four (4) compratments.
left to right
1) indicator 2) tail light/ brake light 3) rear fog light 4) reverse light





so i wired up the addition positive (Green and white)from the brake light and brigded it to the rearfog light Positive (black and red).

here you can see the wires i stripped.




then duck tape and reinstall the lights....



so normal lights without braking..


left side with two compartments and rightside is original both with the brakes pressed.




looks really good pics are from my phone so not the best.

night pics.


no braking


braking





enjoy.

I think not, baby puppy.

My car, made and sold in Japan and such, can't get more JDM than that... :



So european celicas have 'JDM' lights but different wiring? That's rather random :S

I would say something like this:

there are two different tail lights around the world... no... sorry... to be accurate there are actualy three of them for hatchbacks. But two with obviously different design . Let's name them JDM, Euro and US.

JDM: those in JACSSX pictures (sure thing )
Euro: that "other" design of tails
US: US ones looks almost the same as Euro tails but they have working that "corner" part of amber turn signal as well. I hope you know what I mean... I have picture only of that Euro one where is plug for 5th bulb sealed:



so we have 3 different tail lights... we also have 3 different wiring harnesses. JDM, Euro, US. For description how they are wired let's use rear right one.

JDM: reversing light - brake/parker - brake/parker - turn signal
Euro: rear foglight - reversing light - brake/parker - turn signal
US: brake/parker - reversing light - brake/parker - turn signal - side lamp (or something)

now... JDM wiring is usualy used from stock with JDM lights, Euro with Euro and US with US... and as I understand they are using Euro wiring harness but that rear foglight is not in use on OZ models . That's why only one brake/parker light is on and nothing else.

btw.: my ones looked the same about a year ago because I had Euro everithing and didn't know how to use Euro wires and JDM light. See my old "issues" lol:



I was so confused because just for your info this is how Euro light and harness works...



Now after years of playing with my car I have custom harness (JDM/Euro harness mix) and JDM lights so I have everything working (2x brake light and foglight as well) .

Hope that helped!
