Hey guys, I have been having trouble wiring my new rear bumper mustang lights on my 2016 Honda Civic EX sedan. I don’t know where two of these wires go, ground and day time running light. I got the brake lights good, but not sure where I’m suppose to put the rest. There is a +, 19, y in the picture. Where should I insert these two wires???

could anyone help with some advice?

Red wire I have it connected to the black plug on the side that doesn’t have any number or letter. So don’t connect it to the Y or 18

When it’s daytime and your headlights are off they will act as brake lights. When your headlights are on they will be constantly on.

Wait jk, I just looked at it again. Here is what I’m seeing, let me know if this is right:

blue plug is the brake lights
-there is black ground wire connected to the blue plug M1.
-There is white brake light wire connected to blue plug positive.

black plug has the red daytime running wire connected to the black plug positive.

fk i tried doing it and now my car doesnt turn on. I removed the battery for 10 minutes and tried plugging back in, doesnt turn on. I had roadside assistance come and charge my battery and it still doesnt turn on. When i try to start it, the brakes are hold to push and the accessory lights comes on and shows a whole bunch of messages. electronic brake system, brake error etc....

No clue what to do now..

Do you have a pic of the spoiler and the wires? I can maybe help you. If you plug it wrong you could blow a fuse
