Back up light - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Does anyone know if the back up light wire is a plug in or is it hard wired?. If it does have a plug on it where is the plug it plugs into?. Does that make sense?..

It's a long plug.

Well gee man, one might just lay down and have a look see?

the section by the light is plug-in, but the section in the car is definitely hardwired.

The spring break people. "Those" people and their mind set.

In other words lots of dumb people doing dumb things. I was being nice and didn't use retard to label them. Uh wait... never mind.

if you lived somewhere crappy, you wouldn't have that problem!

It's hard-wired to the transmission.

Wow, I thought I remembered it properly until I looked it up. It's one long cord that has a bulkhead grommet. Plugs into the main harness inside the trunk under the latch.

soundman98 · 04-24-2019, 12:28 AM

Yep, but its hardwired from that internal trunk connector.

@Cobaltbloo I've got one of those harnesses gathering dust in my spares bin, if you need it. All I'd ask for would be shipping cost.

soundman98 · 04-24-2019, 12:36 AM

Also, if you were ever considering changing the reverse light, many lights come with the harness, so it might be worthwhile to just update to a different style while you're tinkering with it.
