Hi Everyone,
I've searched and can't find on any posts about the GEN3 Liberty's additional tail lights, brake lights. (In the center garnish)
Just wondering how they can be connected up.
They already seemed to be wired in.. somewhere?
I'm guessing it's a matter of a fuse or something?
Also, I have a feeling.. it might be illegal?
GEN3 LIBERTY ADDITIONAL TAIL LIGHTS?

They were fitted as rear fog lamps (one side only) but no switch fitted in Oz models.
The left side (or maybe it's the right, I can't remember) has a globe an d socket fitted but the right side doesn't.
To fit a globe to the side that doesn't you need to cut the same shaped hole in the rear of the lamp assembly to accept the globe holder. Go to the wreckers and get the small loom from the opposite side as it has two globes (one for fog, the other for reverse) and this will plug directly into the loom and thus replace the single globe holder (reverse only).
From there it's just a matter of finding the loom plug (near the boot hinge IIRC) and, on the lamp side of the plug, cut the fog lamp wire and join it to the brake lamp wire.
I would recommend fitting two 10w globes rather than the original 21w otherwise the current draw on the brake circuit will double and the fog-lamp lenses have a collector which makes them super bright.

Zach installed the legacy garnish on his with lights. If you were gonna do it, I'd say that's the way you should.
I base this on the fact that the light area is larger on those, unlike our audm ones. So our audm ones (on a sedan) might look a touch weird. (they wont be as wide as the ones in the pic below)
