ok here is where im at i back halfed my truck and not im wiring up some tail lights on my flat bed.....

this is an 1985 4runner EFI

i cut behind all the relays and the rear wiring harness so i still have the wires runs like they would to the tail lights...


so far i have the TURN SIGNALS AND THE DRIVING LIGHTS WORKING

i cannot get the brakes to come on

my driver side lights go like this

TURN- green/black with red bands
DRIVING LIGHTS- green and blue

PASSSIDE

TURN-green
DRIVING LIGHTS- green/yellow

if anyone knows what i need to do to hook up the brakes that would be awesome...... im used to jeeps with the easy wiring lol

Toyota's have three bulbs in the taillight pod, Taillight, Turn signal, and brake light. If you are using a combo taillight it only has two circuits taillight and stop/turn signal. In order to get that to work you have to get a converter that takes it from three-wire plus ground to two-wire plus ground. On my 90 the white with a black stripe is the stoplight wire. I looked on the CD I have the 85 FSM on but it does not have any wiring schematics.

Sounds like you got some trouble shooting to do. Take your tester and start at the fuse block making sure you have power to the fuse and the fuse is good and work your way through the system. Could be the switch is bad at the brake pedal.

Has anyone figured this out yet? Same problem but the stock lights worked just fine.

I have yet to hook up my LED lights but I have just regular truck lights back there now. if you want one light to do everything tail,stop,turn you need to rewire somethings. A very simple way is to use one of those trailer wiring hookup deals. you know the ones that are always hacked into the factory wiring that some hilly billy installed? they can be found at autozone and similar parts stores. my truck already had one and when I built the bed I used it to run my lights. works perfect excpet for the fast blinking turn whenever the brake is applyed. I will get some pics tonight. I suspect the LEDS should be the same as well.
