 guys Shaber 1000 here today we're going to be putting this converter here's the converter this is the box that came in the four-flat converter kit and we're going to be putting it on this 2003 Toyota Tacoma so let's get started on it okay guys now the reason why we have to have a converter on this particular truck if you have not just this many many other trucks if you have a truck or car that has the tail lights the tail lights are different from the turn signals here's the turn signals and here's the tail lights you will need a converter box if you have something like this you will not you can just wire into your harness now this does wire into the harness but it also has a power wire I do believe this one is powered yes see the red wire that's your power wire now since we've already got one on here that went bad I can just hook in to where this one is I'll show you what I'm doing with that here a little bit but the reason why we got to have that is because it's on its own circuit if you try to hook it up like you would on that Ford the problem would be is when you turn on a turn signal everything would both sides would flash so that's why you have to have a converter box if you have a any vehicle that has the turn signal separate from the tail light you know you're going to you're going to have to have one of these boxes now I got this one for $18 through parts geek calm and if you guys have ever bought these are looked up prices there anywhere from $50 to $100 so I got this one for 18 I paid a couple of dollars extra for a warranty so I get it for like 21 bucks or something like that so yeah there you are so let's get up under here I'm gonna get something laying on we're gonna get up under here or get the old one out and we're gonna put the new one in okay guys so this this is what we're looking at here all right that's the old one so what I want to do I'm gonna cut these wire ties I got to hold the camera cuz it's too heavy for this tiny tripod and I got my dog cutter is great so there's the old one this is the ground wire so I'm just gonna go ahead and clip it now one of these this one here this red one is a power wire and we got green wires coming over they go to the other side a while for the other side let's take this ground water out of here for now now what I'm gonna do I know the power wire is good so I'm gonna hook into the power wire here right there green wire I don't know why there's two of them I got to figure out why there is two let's just cut them both should only be one green wire and that's it right here's a green wire so we're gonna cut this right here this is brown wire okay so that's all there is to that let's take this off here clear out the way now I don't know why that green wires hooked up to this right here this brown wires into the green wire so all you got to do okay is you got to find your left right so I need to I got my test light out here so I need to find out why they had that why they had that like that let me make sure we got stuff working because I don't think I'm gonna need this one I don't know why it's over here on the other side but okay let me check my lights and make sure everything's working back here what you should be because the tail lights on the truck are working but I got to find out which ones are which just to make sure because somebody's got this all cobbled up so hang tight okay guys I find out which wires go where or which wires are for what but now on these things like here's the old one it's an old curtain whoa right here it'll tell you which wires what shut this red wire is not the power on this one some of me have to run a power wire to to the battery this one you don't have to fortunately this one if it'll focus the red light is for the brake light okay so and and it'll tell you on here like there's your right turn there's your brake light I know you can't see it otherwise things not focusing right turn brake light left turn tail light marker light and they're the white your ground and over here it tells you the same thing right turn left turn tail light and ground okay and that's this side is the one that goes to your pigtail okay so what I want to do I don't know how I'm gonna do this show you what I'm gonna have to do is I'm gonna have to show you now your ground you just put a ground in there but I've already got a ground here grounded really good up to the frame so I'm just going to hook into that ground and the reason why your green one is so long is because it goes over to your left or I mean your right turn signal so it's it's long because it goes clear over there we're not gonna need all that because we're gonna hook in everything right up into here okay so here's my brake lights this is my ground okay brake light ground this is a tail lights this again brake light ground tail lights there's the the right turn signal the left turn signal okay so I'm gonna get these hooked up and I'll show you how I do that I'm just going to use these scotch locks I got right up here these are called scotch locks I'm just going to use them and I'm gonna go ahead and tape them up I haven't had any issues with them but I'm gonna go ahead and tape them up anyway so let me get this all hooked up and I'll show you what I did okay guys so this is what we're looking at this is our brake light this is our turn this is our tail light this is our ground this is our right turn now this is all gonna be put up in here okay all nice and neat looking and but what we're gonna do now is we're gonna check these if I can get monkey to give me a hand here so it'll be a little bit quicker so what we're gonna do is to check the ground well we're gonna just clip right onto the ground just like that okay all right now once this monkey will come over and give me hand and hang tight all right guys I got monkey in the truck now I'm gonna have her put your foot on the brake okay now the green and yellow should beep that that's our break put off the break all right now give me a left turn signal what should be yellow okay now give me a right turn signal now go ahead and shut that off and turn the lights on and now I got to do is wire tie this up here thank you and see this is weather proof double-mole design now listen guys that's weather proof it's not waterproof so if you get this hanging and you're back in your truck or car or whatever into the water water can seep into this this is weather proof because it's up under here that means you know condensation is not going to get into it and the sun's not going to hurt it but if you back this thing under water this is not waterproof these are not are never waterproof so make sure they're up high and up out of the way okay but they're weather proof so like if you get the little snow on it you're okay you know but never never submerge it because it's not gonna work if you submerge it now I'm gonna tape these wires up real good and I want a wire tie I'm up wire tie this up in here and I'm gonna bring the pigtail down probably right through here the way I had it and I'll be back with you let me get that stuff taped up okay guys we got it all zip tied up there you can cut these if you want make them shorter but remember each each time you have a connection it's a potential malfunction later for corrosion whatnot now I've got two see that thing right over there there's one of these here I've got two holding the box on then I've got two coming around got one holding the wires together and I've got two coming around the box and that little piece there and holding the wires this is just how I do my wires right here that's just the it's just a cover and I can't I'm trying to do one handed but you get it right and then I'll plug it in the boat then when I'm done I'll put that back up through and put my cover back on and it just stays right there out of the way watertight you know also they do make a thing for these that you can like mount on to your bumper or wherever and it mounts us and then you just plug the trailer lights into it those are nice but I just go ahead and do this that way if I need a little more I got a little more if I change trailers and I need to come back further you know I can just pull what I need out of here if I need more but that's I think that's plenty no problem and these are all labeled here so you shouldn't have a problem with them if I wasn't filming I would be able to do this in about 10 minutes because the other one's already on there you can you can go by the wires of that if you wanted to you could just cut these wires up here if you have an old one that quit working and you're replacing it you just cut your wires right up here and just go to color code green green red red whatever that's all you really need to do but if you don't just remember you got to take your test light you got to find the wires you know your left right brake light tail light you know so there you go that's all you need to do so it's not I mean it's kind of a how-to but it's really really simple once you once you find you know your left turn right turn tail lights and brake lights and then of course you got your ground it's really easy once you find them but if you like I said if you have an old one that stops working like this one there's nothing wrong with cutting them wires right there and then you you know you have just just match your colors that's all you have to do these things are real simple and as you can see they work fine so there you guys go I know this works from I don't know like 1998 on these Toyotas they're all I think it's a 98 2004 2006 so but if you get a parts geek.com now they're not sponsored me it's just I like I dealt with them before because I bought I bought some scooter parts from them I was treating me good this thing came almost a week early if you go through parts geek.com and you order anything like this they have a list you check you click that button this is check your vehicle fit and it'll give you all the vehicles that here's your instructions very good instructions little picture it'll give you I've never used Hopkins although you've Kurt but they Hopkins had good reviews plus I got three year warranty on it so I think I told you three year was $3 it was $2.95 for two year and a three year was $3.95 so $4 I got three year replacement so yeah so that's pretty good but like I said you when you go to their their website you you type in what you got 2003 come and it'll give you a list of all these things that'll fit and usually what it does is come up in a green thing that says this this part will fit your vehicle but you know yeah just type it in just make sure you get the right one and you should be good to go now here for this one here's the part number if you have a toilet from and it fits all different kinds of toilets too there's the part number 48925 that's a Hopkins okay so there you go four-flat connector now if you go to a parts store like say I'm gonna get you turn around here like same I know I had trouble finding some for my buddy because you tell them you want a converter box they're trying to say you all different kinds of stuff and it's like no I need it for a trailer wires there's no such thing as a converter box for a trailer wire yeah there is I know trust me and you get an argument and it's the best thing to do is just order that online like I said part parts geek calm man if you're looking for electrical parts like this there ain't number one in my book all right I'm gonna get off here starting to get hot the sun moved on me so I'll chat to you guys later thanks for watching appreciate it she barely met the man alleged I'm gone for now bye bye guys and take care
