Tail Light Circuit Diagram Needed

[Ericson38]

I have a rear fog lamp error code, running aftermarket LED tail lights (wish they were factory), wondering if anyone has posted a circuit diagram for non-turbo 997.1 tail lights. Being an electrical engineer, hurts my head to watch videos of how this mod works, or what the remedy is for the fog lamp error, I would rather understand it from the schematic sense first.

 

You can just see the smokey lense LED tail light housings in this picture.

 

Thanks

Ericson38,

 

Not being an engineer like you, I might be asking a couple of stupid questions but I'll ask.

 

1) is the problem bringing up an error code on you display?

2) have you tried installing the resistor pack/s they come with?

 

I have an 08C2S and was getting an error code (tail lamp out) first on the left and then on the right. I installed both resistor packs my rear LED's came with and all is now fine.

Yes, that is what it is, only it's the fog lamp. The car came with these LED lenses (no instructions or resistors), and I'm not sure where the resistors go, but being my hobby is vintage stereo equipment refurb, I have a good selection of parts. Just used to working from schematics. There are a couple of diagrams on this site (996 tail and 997 headlights), so they are out there. Also haven't been able to determine the make of mine.

 

Thanks

Just bought an OEM set of tail lights and bulbs on Ebay, car back to stock, personally like it much better, plus car casts stronger lights, compared to smokey lense LEDs.
