three wire on these, and about 12 wires on my existing taillight assy. ('81 chevy pickup) can anyone offer easy instructions on the replacement?

If you Google 1981 Chevrolet C10 and look at images it will give you a color wiring diagram. A few of those wires are for the tag and side marker lights. It shouldn't be too difficult. Good Luck.

I don't have the ability to answer that any more accurately. I do not have the vehicle in my possession. I do know that there seem to be at least two different, incompatible styles of taillight assembly for this model year. I recommend you contact a dealer to find out the correct part number for your vehicle.

We never found instructions. When we purchased our unit it came with a couple of these already installed, so we looked and repeated what we saw. I think we had to cut some wires to tie in the new lights. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I made a bracket and secured them where the original back lights were. I took the old stock blinker lights off and mounted a simple aluminum bracket in their place

pull out the blank switch and if there is 8 wires on the plug it will work if its less then youll have to add 2 wires check out the tundra forums they have pics and instructions

but a relay kit, don't skimp on this part of the system, look for a heavy duty relay kit and make sure the wires will reach all the way across from left to right of your truck. I would have suggested you get an led kit instead, but hid is good too

You have to find your vehicles wiring diagram and switch the two positive wires going into the light bulb socket. There should be three wires, a ground, a constant positive, and an alternative positive (signal flash). I wouldn't recommend doing this unless you actually know 100% what you are doing though because if you don't do it properly you can really mess up your signals.

I actually have the same set up, I used 2 kawell relays wiring harness. 1 for each set of lights.

I would think that it would be possible to wire the lights directly to you taillight wiring. However, it would take some alterations by someone who knows what they are doing. It all depends on if you are capable of doing the job yourself or willing to pay someone to do a proper job at some expense.

I had an electrician do it, to replace an existing fixture, so the wiring was already there. I bought three and he did each in about 20 minutes

I see lots of opinions here and mine will be no different. I have an '05 FXDX Dyna. I pulled the tail light and spliced into the wiring to allow them to always be on (I tested to ensure I had the right wires for the desired effect). I recall black, brown and purple wires.

original bulbs screw into the new headlights( signal and headlights) you might have to splice the 3 led light on the side and also the halo lights

there are only 3 bolts holding them in. Take out the bolts and pull the old light fixture out. It is snapped in place so you need to pull hard. Just watch out for the sharp edges of the car's metal around the headlights. Once the light is out, unplug the wire from the back of the old light assemble and plug into the new one. Then snap them in place and put the 3 bolts back in. It is not hard to do.

Sorry sir, I didn't see this until now. If you haven't already ordered the lights, I would Message the Seller for questions. But the lights came with more then enough wiring for me, & I put them on the Stock light bar on my Xj. Upgrade the Fuse box though, I have 6 lights to the Switch that came with these lights.

I found another plug at Walmart(automotive/ lighting/wiring)& took what parts i needed that one to make the original work. If your not comfortable swapping parts,you can splice the wires to the new connector or hard wire it to a fused switch.

The light should have a wire harness installed. Just remove the old light and go inside the cab and pull back the headliner in the back middle. Disconnect the wire that leads through the roof of the cab and goes to the third brake light, the connector is located about 6 inches under the head liner. Go back outside and work the rubber seal loose and pull the wires through. Install in reverse order.

you should. my truck had all 3 wires the same color so I had to keep switching the wires each time to get each light to work and to blink.
