![]() I had to sand off the paint under the nut to get a good ground. (ground lead doesn't go through the adapter, just straight to the harness) I didn't splice into any of the ground wires, but I soldered on a connector and fastened it under one of the 10mm nuts that holds the tail light lens in. Below are pictures of the wires that need to be spliced into:The adapter has 3 output wires that you solder up to the wire harness. It has a self stick back, and I mounted far enough in so the black plastic tray wouldn't hit it. Below is a picture of the adapter mounted inside the spare tire well, to the left. The wires coming off of the adapter weren't long enough to reach both sides, so I ran the right turn and ground lead over to the left side with an old extension cord that I cut the ends off. On the right side, I spliced into the right turn, and ground. First take off the tail light access covers inside the rear compartment, tilt up the floor panel (there's a hook under the bottom of the floor that I hooked up on the rim of the tailgate to keep it up out of the way), then remove the black plastic tray that's over the spare tire by unscrewing the cap in the center of the spare.Below is a breakdown of the wires I spliced into:On the left side, I spliced into the left turn signal, brake, and tail/running lights. I went down to AutoZone and picked up a "Hoppy" TailLight Converter #48845 for $11.99. Since the Vibe has a seperate bulb for it's turn signals, a taillight converter is required. ![]() I got around to wiring up the Vibe for a trailer.
