When rewiring Talon-Eclipse tail lights did you?

[Staytuned]

When you guys rewired your Talon tail lights for the Eclipse rear end conversion did you use this method? and did anyone have it work right as Chris has described. I discovered a small problem when doing this rewire and I am curious if anybody else sees the problem too.

I have it working properly, that's not the problem now. I followed this article to the letter and it doesn't work as it is written and the third diagram of the completed harness is wrong. Chris has the black wired to solid green and solid green wired to black, which is incorrect obviously. It must be green to green and black to black (it is worded correct in article though). Also I found that you need to keep the chassis ground on the X harness and it must be wired into the ground wires and not taped off as described in the second paragraph of the wiring section.

I wanted mine the exact way the factory Eclipse runs; all 3 are on with parking lights, and the inside two do both brake lights & turn signals. I bought a 'tail light converter' made for hooking up trailer lights to to vehicle lights to accomplish this. It takes both inputs (brake & signal) and outputs it to one flashing bulb, which I wired into the high input on the two inner tail light bulbs.

That's a cool way to do it. I have all three on with parking lights, the outside bulb is the turn signal and the two inside are brake lights.

So did I, but it always bugged me. It's an easy way to pick out the people that did the conversion when you see then use the brakes or blinkers. I guess I'm picky enough that I wanted it 100% OEM looking.

I am not that picky.....picky enough to not use the Talon wiring in the Eclipse housing ....but not as picky as you.

i was wondering if i could use eclipse after market tail lights for my 97' eagle Talon? i'm tired of my stock ones but was not sure if it could be done, or if it is hard to do.

Yes but you need to use an eclipse bumper. Why in the hell would you want aftermarket tailights? They are ugly as sin. Spray on some VHT Niteshades or something similar, 100x better looking than any of the aftermarket tails on the market. Or do a LED Conversion you can completly customize the light pattern of the tail lights.
