Hey, first time poster looking for some info about weird regional changes;
I've recently scooped up a set of JDM tails for my Liberty (AUDM Legacy) wagon as mine were pretty beat, got around to installing just the garnish and realized that the additional (4th?) brake lights don't work because AUDM cars have different wiring; so my question is - is there any (reasonably) easy way to make them work?
If you're unfamiliar with AUDM cars, for whatever reason they have the physical sockets+bulbs there (alongside a different housing), but they don't actually work. I've tested the foglight switch/signal (or in my case, the blocked off plug ) and confirmed they get a signal - they just don't actually turn on... I've tried my reverse light bulbs in them which I know work and still had no luck. The actual harness that runs into the roof only has 3 wires (ground, fog and reverse, seemingly) whereas the JDM garnish has a 4th wire which I can only assume is the running light+brake signal. Short of tapping into a wire from a corner light, the only thing I can really think of is wiring them into the number plate lights and making them running lights, which would be fine, but I'm hoping there's a less dodgy way of going about it.
Apologies in advance for the slight wall of text
