Default new tail light w/integrated turn signal

hi guys, I bought a tail light with integrated turn signal.
Im having some trouble doing the wiring. there is only one wire for
the each turn signal, and the original had 2.

Has anyone done this upgrade, and knows how to wire the new tail light.

must be a common ground that ties back in to the taillight ground..

inspect to make 100000% sure the wire isn't hidden or ripped off.

i'd meter it just to make sure, or, (potentially risky, but still a test) hook up the taillight, then jump 12V to the free turnsignal wire and see if it lights up.

chances are, they tied all the grounds together, and all you've gotta do is take the positive lead from each turn signal channel and hook it into the appropriate lead.

keep us posted, good luck, and welcome to KF!!

The integrated turn signals uses the common taillight ground also so those wires would go to the turn signal connectors green power wire on the LH side and Gray power wire on the RH.

The tail light comes with 5 wires, 3 that goes into the rear light connector and 1 wire for each turn signal.
Should I snap wires on the rear light ground, and wire it to the turn signal ground connector?

thanks
