What kind of wire do I need to wire a tail light?
The white wire is your ground and needs to be attached to a clean, bare metal surface. It may help using a circuit tester like part # 40376, to help identify the wires when installing the LED light. You can see which wire has power for the function you want to attach. I have attached a product review video for a tail light you can check out.
Where does the wire go for a stop / turn light?
The red wire will be connected to your stop/turn circuit on your vehicle. The black wire is spliced into your running lights, or the lights that are turned on your vehicle when the headlight switch is on. The white wire is your ground and needs to be attached to a clean, bare metal surface.
What makes a running light a brake light?
The fixtures must be grounded as they normally would be. What the relays do is make it possible for the bright filament to act as both brake light and turn signal while the dim filament works as a running light.
How many taillights do you need for stop and turn?
If your Stop and Turn wires are separated, you will need to two taillights on each side: If the two wires are manually combined in an attempt to mimic the combined option listed above, they will create a cross circuit and the lights will come on when they shouldn’t.

Can a tail light perform all 3 functions?
There are only 3 terminals, one is ground, so I connected both turn and stop to one terminal. But when I turn on my turn signal, all four turn signals (both sides) are energized. Will this light perform all 3 functions (tail, stop, and turn) ? This will depend on your vehicle wiring: combined or separate Stop and Turn wires.
