I can't find it any where. from reading alittle all i do is cut a wire?
now in lenko's right up, is there multiple ways to do it? cuz it first goes off to say ta da your turns should work, check them, then in the next paragraph it says now we are gonna run wires from the front turn signals all the way back.. is this just another way with nothing seperating the sections or is this all grouped together, am i just lost cuz i dont have the tails yet or what?
There are both ways. Easiest is snipping 1 wire

but u still have to rewire them anyways
ok good deal now just to find a set of them at a reasonable price

True. But when it comes down to the turn signal part, less hassle w/ the white wire. The rest of it is gravy
I have a set of 95-99 Toyo tails complete with the bulb sockets, toyo badges, and the toyo side markers (blinkers) for the fenders. Email me (you have to be logged in) if you want a price.
1. Pop off the steering column top cover. You may need to unscrew 3 t-25 torx head/7mm bolts under the steering wheel column to do this. (pic1)
2. Locate the white wire on the turn signal switch harness. This is the feed from the brake switch, which tells the signals to flash on and off the brake light on each side. Do not confuse it with the gray cruise control wire. DOUBLE CHECK that it IS the brake wire by testing with a multimeter or a test light. It should have +12 volts when you press the brake pedal. Cut the white wire and tape it off. Give it an inch or so, just in case if you have to reconnect it in the future.
3. Reinstall the steering column cover.
4. In the trunk, either cut off the factory plug to the brake light, or pull the wires out of the plastic connector. You can solder the new connections or use butt connectors (your choice).
5. Rewire the plug as follows: the black wire (ground) goes to black, brown wire (marker lights +) goes to brown, yellow from car (left signal +) to light blue on Left tail, green from car (right signal +) to light blue on Right tail. (pic2)
6. Tap into the white wire(s) that go to the third brake light/high stop light on the spoiler or rear deck. If you don't have one, you should at least have the wiring for it under the rear deck. Using some extra wire, connect the white wire from the third brake light to the remaining wires: yellow on left tail, green on right tail. NOTE! Some 02 models (and possibly 03 models) should use the yellow 3rd brake light wire. DOUBLE CHECK the brake wires with a multimeter or test light first.
Now test everything!
*update*
it took me and my buddy 5 mins to do this its REALLY EASY.

I hope that this works out soon in my favor, Might be getting a set of 95-99 tails at some point this week. Looks very confusing but on the same hand very simple.
2009 Ford Mustang V6
Cliff notes version:
black wire to black wire
brown to brown
white splices into the third brake light
last wire is turn
cut the white wire on the 6 pin connector in the column
success
i just did mine on Fri night and i didnt cut any wires, i also used factory conectors on the tails, i only soldered one wire. but i also didnt follow those directions. i just used my basic knowledge of electrical systems. i was gonna do a write up on it but haven't gotten around to it yet
These are the directions I used. It took me about 45 minutes because I took my time

Then in the steering wheel column cut the white wire. This is also coming from a 2004 Cavalier
Wow, that's my old site. I haven't updated it in years. Looks like I copied and pasted two sets of instructions... the coles notes version is the paragraph at the bottom.
And BTW.. why bumping 3 year old threads?
i just looked at the most recent post date and assumed the ppl were still reading up on it, my bad
