Hey truck guys! I'm new to this forum. I have a 74 c10 stepside that I'm doing the 89-93 caddy lights conversion on. I'm wanting to tackle the wiring process myself. Has anyone installed these lights in? If so do have a guide to tell me which wire go to which. I bought them new with no detailed instructions. Btw they have a reverse light built into them. I hope for any help thanks

Here's a pic of my caddy led tail lights wiring. Can anyone tell me which is which? There's 2 black 2 green 2 yellow and 2 white wires. Has anyone installed these before? Do I need every wire to be hooked up. My new tail lights harness came in I noticed 2 wires per side that hooks into oem lights assemblies and reverse lights as well.

Could take a 9 volt battery and touch wires and see what lights up, that's what I'd do anyway.

You probably need to get a wiring schematic for the model car they came out of. That should answer your questions about wire color and function.

I never thought of that. Will I be able to tell which one will blink for signal and brake?

They didn't come out of a car. They're a custom light by a company who went out of business. I recall the being custom classics out in Texas somewhere

rather than send power into it without knowing what is what I would check continuity with an OHM meter to see which wires are related then try some power.
