tail light swap
#5
it can be done, i got the two taillights for $200 in ebay.. and the lift gate at 100 (total steal), total spent 300. wiring can be done just leave the original wiring intact in case you change your opinion.... you have to put a resistor on the tailights to avoid the blown light warning... total worth it... harder part was to connect the reverse lights due that prior to 2014, reverse are in the tailights and in the 2014 are located at the lift gate.
2014 liftgate installed... worth it

there are two connectors on each side, one is used for the reverse, ground and live....the second connector has three wires for the tailights, ground, stop and directionals I used a tester in order to know which wire does what, then I used a 9v battery to check which wire does what , see attached wiring.. hope will help..

I think you have your wires mis-labeled. The three wires should be Directional/Stop, Tail/Parking, and Ground. You need the resistor (5-7 ohm power resistor) between the Directional/Stop and ground, otherwise you'll have a fast flash rate.
A couple weekends ago I replaced my bulbs with LEDs and confirmed that a resistor was needed between the turn/stop wire and ground to keep the flash rate correct. Once I installed the resistor on each side there were no issues.
