How To: WRC Tail Light Mod.

[R3V]

What happens if you just take the bulb out instead of cutting the red wire?

The outer most light will just not light up at all, including under braking. I left it in because I prefer to have more lights on back there. You also have the option of removing the metal connector in the bulb itself. That method is on my igotasti.com how-to, but I'll post it here:

I wanted the same look, but didnt want to cut into my wire harness! I opted to "mod" the actual brake bulbs instead.

The "terminals" of the bulb are really just wires protruding from the bottom, and folded up the side. If you pry the wire away, then bend it a few times, the wire snaps off and the filament of the bulb will no longer light. I forget if it's the inner or outer connections on the 7443 bulb (i think it's the inner) that you need to break:


I think you might also be able to just use the 7440 bulb, but i haven't tried that yet.

When I get home I'll try to take a pic or two of my bulbs that ARENT the led ones.
