Valenti Japen LED Reverse Tailight USDM Wiring

First off thanks @DaBrz @Perihelion and who ever I forgot that gave instructions on how to wire these puppies!

1) Follow tutorials on how to remove reverse light and wire through valenti.



2)Wired before wiring foglight and break light



3) Cut the weathering strip (optional.. i like to give myself a bit of wiggle room)



4)I decided to use these instead of soldering.. you might want to get to get a higher gauge a little to big but will work



5)I tapped into the left light, go ahead and remove part of weathering



6) Gauge wire 16 that i have from previous project



7)Tap blue and red wire from Valenti (I wanted to keep stock wires stock)



8)From harness section.. I decided to "double" up the break wire and use it .. I avoided soldering



9)I'm a bit anal so I cleaned the wires up, left a little slack incase i need it in the future



10) Finished product

Ok so bit confused you have red wire "long" from valenti reverse lamp tapped into the blue of valenti tail light, where is this other wire tapped to and from??

I hooked red valenti rev light to blue valenti tail light left and nothing but reverse works?

Those connectors will corrode your wires eventually

I don't get it, the both the red and blue valenti wires are tapped to the same 16 gauge wire?? Or did you cut the gauge wire and splice tehm seperately??

I appreciate the help but like I said I have the JDM one and the colors are different. I need to know which one is the running light off the Valenti Tail Light so I can correct whatever connection is wrong, this video doesn't really tell me that

I just got the GCS one (from ft86speedfactory) which looks like the same as the IJDM one. Both appear to be the Valenti replica. Mine didn't have instructions at all so I winged the install and I'm pretty sure I tapped the two wires wrong lol I somehow got the 'v' bar working when I'm in reverse but the triangle light area isn't working. When I tap the brakes, the 'v' and triangle doesn't light up hahaha

I found this on the ijdm website that looks useful. I haven't tried it yet.

any idea how this reverse light needs to be wired to use it as just a reverse light, and make the " V " light up with running lights but no triangle light (no fog or brake)? I already installed it and i think i will have to remove the lamp and take it apart. Its a real PITA to remove though since i have to take off my rear diffuser and pull muffler hangers just to get it out.
