What to do with the lights in the rear bumper

[Deltaboy]

My 2004 Santa Fe has the lens and the back but they are missing the wiring. Can you buy the wiring to make these tail/ brake lights?

Yes. simple mod, 2sockets and some wire and in 45min you've got 5 rear brake lights. love mine!

Where do you get the sockets and how does the wiring hook up?

i had a step by step guide from another forum, can't find it now.
basically you can use any 3wire socket that uses 1157 bulbs.
i got mine @ advance auto for $7 each.
hardest part of the mod is removing the plastic
'plug' in the back of the lens. i drilled a small hole, then used a dremel to remove the remaining plastic. the wires are connected to the rear brake lights with 'T' connectors right at each light. (they're the only 3wire socket in the unit.)
using a wire coat hanger or other fishing tool, reach between the frame and rear bumper at the bottomfish it upwards and it will come out inside the light housing.
good luck.....looks great
even the tech at my dealer noticed it.

Thanks the holes for the bulbs and the sockets are already open. I check with my local parts store and hook them up !
