Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Not shown, but I used electrical tape and wrapped around the connection to the car, the pink (or blue depending on gauge!) terminals going into the car's white connectors.

Leading evidence: 'Use electrical tape and wrapped around the connection' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Use electrical tape and wrapped around the connection' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

1 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

I gave up on the 3D printed thing, and went for something out of the box that everyone can do. It turned out easier as well. You'll need some 1156 LED bulbs, both amber and white . You'll need some short BA15S sockets . If the bulbs you choose need resistors , you'll also need some thermal tape ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WNRL4BN ) to mount them. The sockets are just a bit too short, so you'll have to slightly modify them, turning the mounting hole into an oval. A pair of wiredykes makes quick work of it. After that, you'll need to make up a wiring harness. It's easy with some terminals and a good pair of crimpers. If the bulbs you choose don't need resistors, the harness will look like this. Now to install everything. Not shown, but I used electrical tape and wrapped around the connection to the car, the pink (or blue depending on gauge!) terminals going into the car's white connectors. If you needed the resistors, simply run the wire out of the back of the hole(s) so you can get them into the car. The resistors get HOT. I mounted them with some thermal tape to the inside of the car. Don't be tempted to hide the resistors in the tail housing. This would be a HUGE mistake. They need to be on metal. And that's it! This is the before and after. It's really insane how dim the stock bulbs are. And yes, all 4 are lit up in this pic, both turns and the reverse. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WNRL4BN
