    I am trying to rewire the tail lights on my 02 tacoma because I made a flatbed for it. I went with a custom light setup and can't get the wiring right. I went with the Hopkins combo B95 3 wire setup 20220917_151225.jpg

    Pray tell just what is a Hopkins comboB95 3??

    With only a two light system your going to need a converter box to run the turn signal brake lights and tail lights out of one light.
    Make it easy just add a Turn Signal light.

    I have found that out and was hoping not to spend $80 for the converter. The backup lights and tag lights work great but the brake/running/turn go crazy and effects all the other rear lights.

    i have not bought led lights for a few years I can only hope to amber lights do not cost $80.00

    Even if you need to haunt parts outs or your local used auto parts.

    Worse case I have mounted Stock lights in a Horizontal position on flatbeds or trailers.

    Best of luck!!

    I ended up getting a 4 flat converter kit and hooked the trailer lites to the opposed 4 fat end and now everything works as it should thanks

    well when you have strange light problems you know what to check first!

    Glad your lights are working.
