Hello everyone,

I'm the proud owner of a 2006 Mustang GT; I bought it while I was working in the US, and when I had to go back in France I just had to bring it home with me.
Now I have to change a few things in order to be able to buy a French title and license plates, so I can drive it legally here.

Among other things, I have to change how the tail lights work. Here is the difference with the US:
- turn signals must be orange,
- there must be at least one fog light,
- the reversing light is optional.

So I have to change from this:


to this:


It is possible to buy adapted tail lights, but as you see they are really ugly, and I have to change the wiring harness to use them anyway.

What I have in mind:
1/ unplug the four stop/turn back feed wires on the SJB
2/ replace them with a resistor so the SJB believe the bulbs are still on the wires
3/ use pins 17 and 48 from the SJB C2280b to control turns relay
4/ use the 3rd brake light to control the brake relay
5/ add a switch (must be with an orange light) to control the fog light relay (with the pin 51 from C2280d so I can't power it without low beam)

The relays will be in the trunk, with a wire coming from the battery to power the lights. Here is a schematic:



What do you think about it?
In regard to item 3/, I'm wondering if I can use the front turns feed (i.e. pins 41 and 46 from C2280d) instead of relays: will it burn my SJB because of the power drain?
Also I don't know what kind of resistors I should use for item 2/, as you can see the one provided with the European tail lights is pretty big:




Also I would like everything to be removable, but I'm not sure if it's possible with all those special connectors...

Thanks for your help

pls ask Pawel, he modifies your turnlights as you want

I just imported mine from the US back to Australia and need to mod the tailights to split the brake,turn. what did you end up doing here?
