2014 ST Limited - rear tail/stop light change

[MurrayBrown]

Has anybody out there ever changed their rear tail/stop light on their ST? I didn't have to, but during the installation of my new additional LED turn/stop lights I had to get that the tail/stop light wires to tap in. Holy cow! How do you spell BURIED by little hands? In the end, I came up with what I believe is a better solution.

Not at the moment I don't know, but I will need to before too long when I get my center light and a few other rear end LED upgrades on my ST-S.

And OMG, do I know what you mean by the little hand ordeal. The panels were not too bad especially when the only how-to's are for RT's and F3's. Just doing my headlights and fog lights this weekend took my mother stopping by to get her small hands in the dash since my daughter was out of town... :banghead: It was a cussing pain for a minute there, but it all got done...best of luck to you and if I find any info, I'll come back and post if you still need it.

It can be tight but fyi each of the tail light housing is mounted by only 2 torx bolts got to feel for location & then some. :banghead: When I added the transmitter for my wireless brake light i went deep enough to remove the lower cover all the way. It did help some & that was after Tricled installed my light stips (long led)& Rivico S.O.M.A. Lights (short led) by another bud it can be a rat nest of wires. But proper amount of zipties& wire loom can clean that up:thumbup:.

Full LED

We have an '09 GS, After replacing tires that were 9y ears old, hard as a rock, I replaced all bulbs with LEDs, front markers to tag light. In the rear, i didn't go with new full LED housings ($239 vs $15), just replaced the bulbs . *Except Head Lights; the transformers on HID & LEDS cause radio interference, which is unacceptable to the mrs. Headlights are PIAA 4100k Halogen.
