Wiring up the spoiler

[LinX]

I got an OEM EX wing for my LX and it also includes a brake light. Aside from having to drill holes in the trunk, Ill also need to wire the light. If anyone is familiar with this type of job please let me know what steps to take to complete a thorough installation.

Drill holes mount it and tap into your current 3rd break light for power

3rd brake light huh, alright thanks

i would also suggest completely disabling the third break light

you can cut off the socket for the third brake light and run the wires to the spoiler, or if you still have access to the trunk lid that the spoiler came from, theres a short wire harness added into the trunk lid on OEM spoiler-equipped cars, which makes it a direct plugin to the back of one of the trunk brake lights. theres also a relay harness along the top of the trunk by the light that reaches behind the driver side trunk panel to the antenna, with it hooked up, it makes the antenna go down when you pop the trunk. otherwise the spoiler hits the antenna.

just run the wire where the trunk release cable goes then to the brake light in the window cut that socket off and spice the wires together have someone hit the brake so u no the two wires are right

Well heres the thing, I'm not getting the spoiler from a trunk. I'm getting an OEM one for real cheap thats brand new and painted so it wont be a quick plug and play. I'll have to splice the wires. As for not connecting the third brake light, why would i wanna do that?

Hit up a junkyard and find the 2 harnesses that came with the spoiler kit. There's one that hooks up to the brake light and one (with a relay) that lowers the antenna when you pop the trunk so the spoiler doesn't hit the antenna (as was previously mentioned). Then you'll need the left hand brake light sensor and the trunk springs from a spoiler equipped car to do it properly... The third brake light is disabled on CB7s with the OEM wing. If you get the proper harnesses and all of the parts required, it's a very simple install. I can send you the OEM instructions if you need them.

Yeah go ahead and shoot me a pm with the instructions and parts you just mentioned. Ima hit up the junkyard this sat hopefully and pick up these parts as well as the rear disc knuckles, thanks.

PM'd you. If you find the brake light sensor, I still need one...

Checked out your ride thread. I'm liking the setup you got there. As for the OEM front lip and read spoiler you're thinkin about(don't know if you got them already) I would say its a definate yes. As for the brake sensor, gotta remember I live in socal
