You actually don't need to separate them to have the turn signals work correctly. I don't like cutting or tapping into the factory harness. I used a Quadratec towing harness that I modified to have both four and five pin connectors. Both left and right turn signal wires are available at the left rear lamp. One five pin flat towing connector can be used for these hinge lights. Note that Suparee wired the lights so that the brake lights are dimmer than the park/tail light. This is backwards and is why you can't see the brake lights on the hinges when the headlights are on. Use the red wires for the brakes/turn signals and the green wires for the park/tail lights. To get the turn signals working correctly just split the red wires. Trailer harness pins are standardized so it isn't too difficult to figure out which wire is for left or right turn signal. I purchased a male and female five pin trailer connector set from autozone to use as the disconnect for removing the hard top. Get a pin cover for weather protection. I also used bullet connectors on the Quadratec harness so I could remove it without cutting any wires. It works pretty good.
Yeah need get in touch with him having F-L factory light issue and inspection soon . Love those lights great idea more light on top rear especially low hanging brush or anything
Thank you, great video! Please clarify which color is the driver's side wire for reverse and which is the passenger side wire for the brake? By the rest of the colors of the wires, I kind of understood.
If you don’t want to wire both sides and don’t care about blinkers, here’s another way to wire them. I really like these lights but I could not figure out how to keep them from blinking with the right blinker. After several combinations, I figured it out. Link the brake light and reverse light to the tail light wires and use the center brake light ground and hot (white with black stripe) found in the tailgate. This will give you running lights, reverse lights and brake lights. They will not flash with the blinkers, right or left.
Yeah that’s definitely another option but I like them as turn signals for each side . They don’t last very long, so definitely think of using connectors so that you can pop them in and out.
Quick questions based on you posting your video a few months after Coddiwomple Overland. In Coddiwomple's video he mentioned there was no change in intensity in the Supree lights when the headlights were on and the brake depressed. In your video I noticed that you started the night-time demonstration sequence with the headlights off. Just wondered if, like Coddiwomple, your lights also don't change intensity when the headlights are on or if Supree upgraded their chips by the time you installed yours. Or in the alternative, have you or anyone figured out a wiring workaround? Thanks!
Do you know I’ve never even noticed… we are getting ready to go on another trip with Coddiwomple this week so I’ll have to pay attention! I do know that I like the way we wired them better than the way, Coddiwomple did

Nicely done! These things are still chugging right along, although my wife’s has lost a few of the small led lights inside
@@DownSouth_Adventures Thank you for the great video.

I’ll have to rewatch because I don’t remember now.
Yea really confusing
@@dustincagle7771 yes confusing
How did you run the tail light tapped wiring on the passenger side up into the connector?
Straight up the side of the hardtop
Would love to know how that’s doable… bc on my ‘21 JL it doesn’t appear to be

@@DownSouth_Adventures 😆 Copy that! I'll keep an eye out for an update, when you get a chance. Thanks! Have a fantastic trip!
Did you're tailgate leak under high pressure wash?
No we are still running them on both jeeps and have never had any issues.
Why did you connect the wires inside the light compartment instead of the readily available wires above
We have made this so that we can remove the hard top and it’s connected to each tail light individually
Drivers side red, green, white connect to what colors?
Not sure
what gauge and watt wire is that?
Linda for the life of me I can’t remember at the moment.
That’s so dang cool.
I like them a lot!
What gauge wire does he use?
I'm not sure but it is pretty thin, I'll try and ask Mike.
Wait... What colors go to what.
Damn it’s been so long I forgot!
Does Mike pump your gas too…
I’m sure he would if I asked him….does someone need a hug?
