Default My install

Hey all... After purchasing the center console switch kit from the Z store.. I got lazy and decided just to make a simple 4 brake light.. Using the flasher idea I simply wired in a generic turn signal flasher to gimme that sweet F1 car look. With that being said I had to wrap the flasher in foam and a towel. The flasher being in the panels means the clicking sound resonates throughout the car unless you do this.
Notes regarding the pic: the pic show the rear trunk area just pass side of center.
My car was prewired. Find the tan colored wire coming from the fog light..there is 2 nearly identical tan wires in the harness. That tan wire will feed up from the fog light. It needs to be spliced to the light mint green wire(not the darker green wire) there is 2 green wires.. Use the lighter one. Nothin needs to be done with the ground wire. If you want a flasher simply wire it in line between the light green and tan wires. Tape off the tan wire that continues up to the front of the car.

Here is a link to a video of what it looks like at night:
