Flatbed tail light question
I was lurking on fleebay and found these http://www.ebay.com/itm/SUZUKI-SJ413-SJ410-BRAKE-TAIL-LIGHTS-JIMNY-SAMURAI-SIERRA-GYPSY-CARIBIAN-DROVER/291102431014?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D27538%26meid%3Dde2a7e1cfd574279bfb165441638c4b2%26pid%3D100005%26prg%3D11353%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D6%26mehot%3Dpp%26sd%3D171461283752&rt=nc for a flatbed build I am planning in the near future. My question is will they wire up fairly easy without major cutting or splicing? I've seen plenty of pics of people using these style lights but wasn't sure if it was a bit involved to get all the lights to work correctly. Would FJ40 light assemblies be more compatible?

It has been a while since I did my tail lights on my flatbed that I used to have. For some reason, I had to have two lights on each side to have Stop, Turn, and Tail Light. I am weak in electrical but for some reason Toyota does it a little different on their tail lights. This is on the 84-88 trucks. You do don't say what year, not sure about the 89-95 trucks.

Then it grounds through the metal housing most likely.
if you live anywhere you have any winter chemicals on the roads make sure to paint the backs real good or in 2 or 3 winters you will be buying new ones.
unless you plan to mount them in weather proof boxes.
