    Export Style (Amber Turn Indicator) Taillights - How To

    The link didn’t seem to work for me. They may work. I was just providing links to where I got my items. If they’re Crown Automotive, should be the same exact thing. I’ve had good experience from Quadratec.

    Is it possible to use export spec taillights in US TJs without having to run new wires?

    I've created a How-To thread on my build of this project. I've linked over to this thread also, as there is great information on here that was a great resource for me. Thank you to everyone who has helped me to this point on this project. I'm not completely done yet, but I'm hoping for warmer...

    Export Style (Amber Turn Indicator) Taillights - How To

    Export Taillights (this does require some rewiring to vehicle harness) I'd like start out by saying certain aspects of this build were gained from an existing thread about the export style tail lights. Thank you to all who have contributed...

    Is it possible to use export spec taillights in US TJs without having to run new wires?

    I am using export lenses with a domestic housing. The screw holes for the lens line up exactly. Export lenses stand out further than the domestic lenses and require longer screws. First picture shows the different depth of the lenses (export left, domestic right). Second is side my side. Third...

    Heated Side Mirrors and LED Turn Signal Repeaters

    Intro I wanted to add heated side mirrors to my Jeep, since I get freezing rain occasionally here in the Midwest and it’s not super easy to scrape off a thick layer of ice. They’re also handy for foggy/dewy mornings. I had seen a Toytoa Tacoma post about somebody using snowmobile grip heaters...

    Is it possible to use export spec taillights in US TJs without having to run new wires?

    That's a valid point, and I'll keep it in mind if I intend to tow anything. At this point in time, I don't own any trailers and have no intent to tow anything with this vehicle. Thanks. As far was the 18g wire goes, diagram 8W-51-2, shows 18g wire from the brake switch to the rest of...

    Is it possible to use export spec taillights in US TJs without having to run new wires?

    My plan is to remove Pin/wire 1 from multifunction switch C1. This should remove the brake light functionality down the greed/red & brown/red wires that will be used for the amber turn indicators. For the brakes function, I intend to tap into the CHMSL white/tan wire at the tailgate contact...

    Is it possible to use export spec taillights in US TJs without having to run new wires?

    Perfect! Thanks macho. A PO used the 3M wire splice/taps into the wiring inside the body tub for a trailer connection, so it probably doesn't serve any function for me. I'll probably de-pin the brown/red from the connector so I can connect a brake light wire in it's place, to more easily...

    Is it possible to use export spec taillights in US TJs without having to run new wires?

    I'm trying to figure out the purpose of one of the wires on the wiring diagram for the tail lights (8W-51-5). I can not figure out the brown/red wire for the right tail light brake/signal is also connected to the vehicle harness at the left rear tail light. It comes down from the "E" triangle at...

    Is it possible to use export spec taillights in US TJs without having to run new wires?

    I’ve been pouring over the wiring diagrams for my TJ from the FSM. I intend to pull the wire from the brake switch out of the multifunction switch. This should isolate turn signal function down the wires to the back of the Jeep. I plan to splice onto the CHMSL for power to brake bulbs. I’ll also...
