Mustang Eurostyle Taillight Installation

5.  Remove the trunk lining on the driver's side of the trunk, by the wheel well. You will uncover the anti-theft alarm module.  To the right of the module, you will find the center brake light harness.  Unclip the harness for ease of use, and cut the green/red wire after the connection harness.  Your center brake light wire might not be long enough to work with after this cut, so I just got some exta wire and used a bud connector to lengthen the shorter end. 

Finding brake feed

After that,  you want to cut around a four foot long piece of wire (enough to reach the driver side brake light wires at the tailgate).  Then, you want to splice the two ends of the center brake light feed together again, along with one end of the wire you just cut.  



6.  If you can read the text in the picture below, it basically explains what to do for this step.   Anyway, after splicing the extra wire with the center brake light wire,  feed the wire to the driver side brake light harness.  Cut one of the two green/red wires on the top of the harness (the side heading out to the taillights).  Cap off the short end of the wire coming out of the harness to prevent arching, you will not need that feed anymore.  Next, cut another piece of wire about 5 feet long to feed from the driver side brake light to the passenger side.  Then, splice one end of the wire you just cut (for the passenger side feed), along with the center brake light feed and the other end of the green/red wire (the end heading out to the taillights).

Splicing center brake light

7.  After you splice the three wires together at the driver's side taillight, feed the other end of the wire you just cut, to the passenger side.  You will need to remove the center trunk lining piece by removing the four plastic screws.  You need to do that to put the center brake light feed wire behind it, so you don't see it.   Next, cut one of the two (orange dominant color this time) wires, capping off the short end coming out of the harness to prevent arching.   Then splice the center brake light feed wire with the other end of the wire, the one heading out to the taillights.
