I don't think there is one for the back sidemarkers, just the front

thanks!!

Ok, you need more wire then the front, if you got the roll in the package then that is more then enough.

you have to take everything out of the back, till you get to the spare tire area, then take the molding off near the bumper/hatch latch, it pops right off, and take those door things off like you would to replace the bulbs.

and in the area under the holding there are wires, you will see where the wires run into the car at the center, they are wrapped in tape follow them to about near the battery, pull some of the tape off.

there are 4 wires, 2 brown, 2 black, I cut 1 black at a time to see what side it goes to, then you attach the wire that runs to the marker, just like the front is done, and run the wire to the area where you replace the taillight bulbs, and use them blue splicers and hook it to the yellow wire on the driver side, its a diff color on the pass but its always to off color to the taillight, never the brown or black running to your taillight.

then you do the same with the other black wire running from the other marker.

I will try to get pics up.

When you step on the brakes do the side markers come on? I wouldn't like that. Check it out. thanks

nope, because thats the black and brown wires, the 3rd is solely for the blinker

btw it might help if you haven't done the front yet, to read the How To in the How To section, it will help clear things up I might not have said here.

this is more of a add on to the front sidemarker post.

sweet, you beat me to it....lol....now i don't have to probe the wires and figure it out. kudos to you!!!!

Ok so I used my test light this morning to try this and they do come on when you hit the brake if you dont have your parking lights turned on.........with parking lights on it works perfectly........looks like I will need to run the wires from the front turn signals to make this work.....
