Cheers

I believe this is why they are shipped as two pieces.. sorry for any confusion!

I can't believe you guys get taxed on this.

You should really just give up on this whole pipe dream of maintaining a separate country and join us.

Yup, its sucky but it helps to take care of a lot of things that you guys pay for otherwise....

Violin · 10-01-2006, 09:45 PM

You guys are too easy.

Besides, if we absorbed you, we wouldn't be able to say we were Canadian when we travel overseas.

I think we have to cut the body side plug and connect ithe body side wires to the connector we received.

Just gotta figure out how to connect it properly using disconnects or pin contacts...

bigsky2 · 10-02-2006, 10:07 PM

Ok this is what you need to do.

1) Cut the body side plug
2) Refer to the transplant page here for wire colours and associated operations of each wire: http://www.k4.dion.ne.jp/~vitz/RStail.htm#
3a) Plug in your connector and map out where the LIGHT SIDE wires are located when you view the connnector from the open end
3b) Remove the connector and get ready for some wire stripping and connecting
4) Strip your body side wires appropriately, attach the exposed wire to FEMALE MOLEX TERMINALS. Crimp them tightly. Insert them into the connector we have received in the right places to match up what you mapped out in in Step 3a), and lock them in place. This is the new body side plug.
5) Connect your body side plug to the JDM Tail Light
6) Enjoy

FEMALE MOLEX TERMINALS can be located at any electronics store, and I will be buying all of them in Vancouver so none of you guys can get your JDM tails in your Yaris without me being the first one!

Violin · 10-02-2006, 10:07 PM

I believe the shop manual shows how to release the pins from the connector - but I may be wrong. That would beat cutting the wires.

That would be an excellent alternative.

I'll start browing through the shop manual for such instructions if they exist..

Just another thought, the connector on the body side molex is Female, so it might be easier to just push out.

bigsky2 · 10-02-2006, 10:53 PM

Ok got another method for you.

If you have a Female Molex Remover, then all the power to you. All you do is put it around the female molex from the body side from the top, push the pins down, and then gently pull the wire while pushing it from the top.

For those of us without an electronics arsenal, a sewing needle pin and patience will work. Same idea here. Just push the clips down enough so you remove the terminal + wire from the molex. After it's removed, pull the clips out a little so that when you push them into your new molex connector, they will snap in place.
