We can't tell you if something will work if we don't know what it is. Don't understand why you can't remove existing lights.
You should have at least opened them up so you know what's there. Just don't break them. Your original lights will have that white wire.
If you took a look you might figure out why
Linda S
I've had them open. I know Exactly what Wire you Are talking about.
If you can't explain to me why I can't Cut that Wire And hook it up to my new lights and Why it must remain connected to the old assembly. Then i
Apologize You're taking your time. I'm simply just trying find out if These kinda Lights will work before I purchase them.

You do realize these lights are much smaller than your existing lights. You're going to make some sort of bracket to mount them to fill in the gap.
Here is the wiring colors from your coach
On the coach side, the wire colors are:
WHITE = Ground
GREEN = Tail Lights (running lights)
YELLOW = Turn Signal
RED = Brake Lite
NOTE- Don't cut the white wire that runs to the three metal plates on the assembly. This wire is needed for the Backup light
Possible flasher repair
86 Dolphin; flasher is behind kick panel on driver's side, two screws to remove panel. Flasher is green and does not want to come out, leave the cover on and keep prying and pulling straight out. It will come eventually. Notice which side is up. Now remove cover; snip or unsolder teeny little resistor in middle, close to outside edge. I unsoldered, didn't have snips small enough to get it. Snap cover back on, shove it back in. No more quick flash.
One more thing. Cheap is pretty always CHEAP. To do so much work and have them fail quickly doesn't sound like a good idea to me

TV, I'm not understanding. Fully as to the white wire for the backup light. I cannot remove the old assembly. These lights have a backup light on them also. These are not the lights I'm going to use, but they are all-in-one.
I just use them as an example.

Do I wire these taillights Tit-for-tat.
Someone Told me that's a brake. Light may not work in these old cars.
The speed in which the flashers flash.
Will not bother me. Is that the only reason people change the flasherout? Or is it something more than that?

I've already changed out all my clearance and marker lights Front, back and side with no problems. I know that the headlights are an issue. Maybe I'm just confusing the problems they have with the taillights.
Is it absolutely necessary to change the flasher or is it Only if the fast flash Drive u crazy for me, I couldn't give a damn.

When you say “dim”, do you mean the taillights in general or just the brake light?
If no recent work has been done that could cause the wires to become damaged, I’m leaning towards a bad light socket.
Try disconnecting both brake wires from their sockets. Now step on the brake and see if the fuse pops. If no, the socket(s) should be replaced.
Having a positive wire coming disconnected from the socket.
Would that cause the fuse to blow I pulled the light bulbs and pulled the housing off and looked in the back didn't seehang out of the ordinary.yr

Are there any other things hooked up to that brake light circuit

Do they still sell the surface mounted rear light assembly

I can’t give you instructions online. Do you have any friends or neighbors who are electrically/mechanically inclined?
Somewhere your brake wire (while energized) is shorting to ground.
Check for any pinched wires. Chances are the problem is between where the harness was extended and the brake light(s) themselves. Factory wiring rarely goes bad. A bad or corroded bulb socket could also cause a short.

86 sea breeze 20'
I have a test light and a voltimeter.
But not really sure what exactly to do with them.

What year is your camper, who made it and how long is it?
The reason why length is important is because the original factory wiring harness was configured for a standard truck bed.
Motorhome manufacturers had to extend this harness to fit the coach body. Many times they used wire with a different color code than factory Toyota wiring.
Identifying the correct color of your brake wiring by simply looking would be a guess at best. I have several different wiring diagrams for early Toyota trucks. Depending on your year I can give you your factory wire color for the brake wire. You would then need to find the original factory harness termination point under the truck and see what color wire was used for the extension.
Chances are a pinched wire somewhere is shorted or a corroded or damaged socket.
Voltmeter or test light will be needed.

Long way from the switch to the light! Simple stuff first, had it been working fine up to that point?
Yes it was working so what color wire am i looking for
-
Is anyone know what color the brake light wire is and if it goes straight back from the fuse or the switch trying to trace it
-
Hey, guys, I just noticed my brake lights were working. I saw it was a bad fuse when I put a new one in.
Popped when I stepped on the brake pedal.

just pulled this thing out of the box day before yesterday and smoked the compressor didn't get it to 40 pounds it doesn't work anymore what a piece
-
Yeah once I got it to a safe place where I had power and a compressor I went ahead and just unscrewed it I I didn't want to mess with it too much while I was out and about thought that that little retainer ring was welded onto the rim but it's hooked on and then the spring is maintaining pressure on it to keep it hooked onto the inside of the rim I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not about the new extender but I have a plug and that was the last one he had and most likely the last one in existence no I just took two 1-inch extenders and then right where the two went together was about right where the little clip ring was located and so I was able to assemble it onto the two 1-in extenders it worked out pretty good I sure as hell have learned a lot about tires last couple days I had no idea!! I just keep inching along on this thing I really want to be able to do the back brakes myself I'm pretty sure I can I'm also interested in building my own pressure balancing monitoring system for the rear I saw one that a guy built on this forum that looks pretty cool

I came up with this on the driver side I went to go to do the other side and I noticed I have a three-hole rim on the driver side and a six hole on the passenger side is that normal I can't get to the one on the passenger side but luckily it's not all mangled up like the one on the driver side
