Wiring rear tail lights of MK4 roadster

[TK3cobra]

The right rear wiring harness has:
Black - ground
Tan - Tail light
Purple - brake light
white - turn signal

My tail light has:
white - ground
red - stop/turn signal
black - tail light

HOW DO I WIRE THIS TO MAKE IT WORK CORRECTLY???

Thanks,

TGK

you need to use the trailer adapter that was supplied with the kit. you did get one right? Instructions come with it.

I tested my lights prior to body install, should be something like this.

I did wire the tail lights like you showed in your picture. Thank you. Now my rear turn signals work and my rear brake lights work, but no running lights when I turn on the head lights.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for any help.

what does it mean to swap out the flashers?

The big silver can looking relays in the fuse block. One is for the hazard circuit and the other for the turn signals. Older style flasher relays work off of current causing a metal strip to move when heated via the current load. LED lights don't draw enough current to heat those strips and require an electronic (timer) relay instead.

I do have the newer electronic flashers. Any other suggestions for me? Thanks.
