If any of you have bought these tails off Symmic on ebay, or thinking of doing so, DONT!!! the right tail light is wired incorrectly. at first, i thought it was just my turn signal wire was wired incorrectly, but after careful examination, I found that there is more. The grond wire on the tails is wired to the reverse wire off the harness, the turn signal wire is wired to nothing, and the reverse wire is wired to the ground wire on the harness.
so far, these are the problems i've encountered with this wiring issue.
1. with the car running, the right turn signal doesnt work. When I used a jumper wire to connect the 2 wires, the signal worked, but it caused the reverse light, brake light, and left brake light to strobe on and off when the right turn signal was turned on.
2. If I put the car in reverse, the right turn signal on the gauge cluster would half way light up.
3. My biggest problem, if I would turn on the marker lights/parking lights, and drove, my OD wouldnt kick in. so during the day time when no lights are on, the car would shift into all 4 gears, but with the lights on, OD didnt work, I would be stuck in 3rd gear once i started cruising. i figured this out when i took my car outthis past eekend for a drive since it was nice out, adn it drove pefectly. but then later at night, when i left again, the OD didnt kick in. so i thought to myself, what all have i done to the car since this problem started, and the tails and headlights were it. so i shut the lights off as i was driving at 45mph, and OD kicked in. as soon as i turned the lights back on, 3rd gear only.
luckily, I dont drive my car much during the winter, so I will have time to fix it once i get my new soldering gun, but if you dont know much about electrical. Dont buy from thie seller. Others have complained about the wiring, but i havent seen anyone give these symptoms before.
