Valenti Sequential Tail Light Issue - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

jc7993 · 07-09-2019, 06:29 PM

Was installing the Valenti Sequential Tail Light and connected the power cable to test it out and saw that the brake light became the turn signal and vice versa. Any idea if this is a known issue? One thing that I think might cause the issue is the Smartap CF18 Flash Relay that I installed a month ago. Besides that, I haven't made any other modifications.

I got mine last week and the running light was the turn signal and the turn signal was the running light. I found a video that showed the proper sequence for the wiring harness and so I switched the yellow and blue wires and then they were fine.

Yes. The US has different wiring to the rest of the world. The lights aren't made in the USA, therefore the pins have to be swapped. Usually the vendors over there swap them (or have them swapped in the factory) but if you've imported from elsewhere they'll not be done.

Tons of info on this website about re-pinning the lights.... or YouTube
