Default Anyone have these? Or know how to wire them?

I just ordered these tailights. They came today but have no instructions with them. Obviously the bulbs are just plug and play, but there are 2 sets of wires, which appear to be for the little LED bulbs. The wires are red white and blue.

I would imagine you're looking at one wire being a ground, and the other two for brake and or turnsignals or park lights. I tried to Google the name and make, but found nothing. Sorry, as I've been no help, here.

Try contacting the place where you bought them, and ask them to yank the instructions out of another set and at least read them to you, so you can stick them in.....[:@]

I hate stuff like this when it happens to me.

When you find out more about those lights, please tell us more. Where did you order them and how they work?

well as i thought about it more last night, a light shouldnt get grounded. It should be power in power out. SOOO I believe one wire is brakes, one is parking lights, and the other is turn signal. Since the same lights are used for all three it shouldnt matter which wire goes to which right? I guess i'll find out what three wires those are and get into those.

They got to be for the leds. And one side does get grounded.

It depends on how/when you want them to light up to determine what to wire them too.

Usually you just wire them to the parking lights.

You will have to take wire/alligator clips like said and try the different combinations of wires using hot and ground to see what lights what.

ok spent a couple hours dinking around with these and got pissed off and gave up. The LED's are supposed to flash when you hit the brakes, well i tried the good ol guess and check method and i could get that to happen, but the only way i could get them to flash with the brakes is when they were constantly lit. This meaning that even if there wasnt a key in the ignition, and the lights were turned off the led's were still lit up. So i just threw them in for now with the normal bulbs hooked up. They do look really good though. And they guy i bought them from won't email me back either!
