DIY REQUEST: IJDMTOY FOURTH BRAKE LIGHT CONVERSION KIT INSTALL
Does anyone know where I can find detailed instructions on installing the ijdmtoy.com kit there are a couple videos on YouTube but they suck they always skip the wiring aspect of the install and if they do show some of the wiring steps they skip a lot of shit. Also the directions on their website are complete garbage. Please I need help.
P.S.- This is for the DIY STOCK conversion kit that includes only the wires AND red crimp clamps , red LED bulb and hole saw drill attachment. And I have a 2017 Toyota 86 (US) |

If you slide an exposed wire into the plug you have to tap into you can test if the brake light turns on or not. I did this with the Valenti fourth brake light and it works.

yea I saw on a video that you can do that but I need to learn how to do the actual wiring and stuff. The kit comes with these red clips to mesh the wires together but no instructions on what wire goes where and how to use the actual clips.

Just look @ back of the tail light, unplug the power to it..
Open up the clip you see, you will see that there is a metal piece in it with an indentation on each side for cutting the rubber part of the wire. All you need to do is put taillight power cord on one side & & cord to the 4th brake light on the other then push close the clip real hard. It's just a cheap way to do it without solder the wires together. |

i twisted and folded the exposed wire (thicker and more surface area) and insert it into the rear of the existing tail light connector, then filled hot glue into the connector. do this for the three wires, then wrap the whole thing with electrical tape.

You can use the instructions from the NSIDIUS kit but the actual splicing will be different

I bought the Nsidius kit and changed out their halogen bulb with an led one, because the 2017 models have LED tail lights and the 4th brake light came on a half second late.
I'm not entirely sure if it's the same socket size as the ijdm, but this is the one I bought. A red bulb isn't necessary since the reflector housing is already red, so I got white, but I believe they have a red version: https://www.superbrightleds.com/more...car/1688/3956/ Just make sure whatever bulb you get, it has dual function for parking light and brake light. |

I just connected my 4th brake light. My 4th brake light turns on when I turn my car on. However, when I hit the brakes the 4th brake light completely turns off until I let go of the brake. Can someone let me know what I messed up on please?

Is this when your headlights are on? Did you ground it correctly? When the lights are off, it should only turn on when the brakes are pressed.
