Anyone else notice any of this?

the missing pin is for the indicator

in the normal four lamp system, tail/stop/reverse/indicator setup their are six wires
right side (calais should be the same as a G8)

the LED is tail/brake only so the wiring will be the same, the big difference is your cars use the brake light as an indicator, the fact you have six wires is good, just need to see what each wire does

black / white line, tail/brake (don't know which one is brake)
brown /white line, tail/brake
blue / silver ring, tail /brake (- side)
lt green / silver ring, reverse
dark green / silver ring, indicator
blue / silver ring, spilced to both indicator & reverse

hope this helps

Jason,

Thanks for the info!

The Blue/silver wire closest to the camera in the picture I took has no wire on the other side if the connection (it's not being used...)

Light green and black/silver(closest to camera) on mine go to the reverse lights...

Can you keep your eyes open for some LED Caprice Taillights?

Thanks!
