ok ..... so last week the alarm was FUBARed....but new keyfobes fixed my alarm......

anyways.... when the car was in the UK the brit's cut and rewired my tail lights so my rever, became amber turns and a "rear red" fog was added to stock housing. I stripped all the UK stuff out and I have all my turns/haz/driving lites *both light bulbs in ea. housing blink* and my revers. are back

BUT NO brake lights :evil: what gives....i only took out what was not factory and on the dr side yellow wire went to yellow, pass side green to green .......

the bulbs are duel filliment/sulivan 3057k ...could i have the wrong bulbs?
my brakes worked before i pulled a sh!tload of wires but i'm sure only after market crap came out......
any one have a laimens wire diagram for me?

do i need to worry about any wires under the dash? the only one NOT hooked up is a white one coming down the steering colum

I looked at the FUSE box and actually replaced the "HAZ/STOP FUSE" just for safe measure.......

I'm stumped this time cause even though they *brits* cut the stock wires I put all the wires back together as color dictated.....

what I don't get is that I get my third brake light when the pedal is pressed,,,,,what gives with that? are they on seperate relay/brake switch?

please ANY ideas would help.... if need be I could take pic's but I would need help hosting them......

please

PLEASE HELP

What i can tell you (from my tail light conversion on my Firebird for german TÃœV) is, that the third brake light runs on a completely separate wire (blue) from the brake light switch, the left/right brake lights run on (brown/yellow - i think) wires coming from the steering column turning signal switch... so it can brake/flash with only one set of wires - so compared to the camaro the firebird has no separate wiring for the brake lights running to the tail lights.
