There is a problem with converting thw rear lights that is
often overlooked - it is in the zookikrawlers thread as mentioned by hollywood514:
The Samurai tail light wiring is
DIFFERENT (!) from the wiring found in North American vehicles!
Each of the lighting circuits on a Samurai (and a TracKick/Vitara for that matter) is
SEPARATELY WIRED!This means that you must use a SEPARATE lamp for the brake light and turn signal circuit! You cannot just 'slap in a three-wire Stop/Turn/Clearance lamp fixture" and expect it to work! Each circuit must have it's own lamp (LED or incadesant).
I am alomost positive that is why your stop/turn signals are not working properly!
For people who stumble across this thread in the future:
BE SURE TO CAREFULLY READ ALL OF THE CONTENTS OF THE zukikrawlers.com THREAD BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH YOUR CONVERSION!
