[@wildaftermath5144]

just did it for my 2019 Q50 definitely earned my sub saved me so much time

[@Milestyle]

That’s awesome!! Glad it help you out, unfortunately for us we no longer have Q50 in the collection.

[@LuisOrtiz-bs6ou]

Glookin I just plugged em em and left it like that 😂 works fine easy to take off now too

[@Milestyle]

Right on… 👍

[@tannerblair2185]

does your light keep blinking no matter how long you are braking or does it turn to solid red after a few blinks, because mine will stay blinking and i did everything in the video

[@Milestyle]

@@tannerblair2185 ya ours did that too

[@tannerblair2185]

@@Milestyleso that’s normal?

[@Milestyle]

@@tannerblair2185 I don’t think so, because on my STI just flash like few times then brighten brake light. On Q it would just keep flashing while pressing on brake

[@tomcriscuolo]

The same thing happened to me. I installed a couple days ago, and when I hold down the brake, it never stops flashing. Did you find out a fix for this?

[@Milestyle]

@@tomcriscuolo naw I never did, sold that car awhile ago.

[@elniorr3178]

did you plug it directly into back of the wire ?

[@Milestyle]

Yep, just piggyback off back plug wire for power. Just like you would back probe on a test light.

[@Slowahh_50]

Hey what are the tips of the wire called. Mine just came with short tips

[@Milestyle]

@@Slowahh_50 I put heat shrink on end near tip of wires.

[@Kevin-zp6ly]

What were those things you connected to the wires to just plug right in?

[@Milestyle]

Hi Kevin I didn’t connect or add anything to wires, the wires came with pins connected to ends so able slide wires into back side of connector,, if your wires are bare you could maybe add some solder to tips of wires.

[@Kevin-zp6ly]

@@Milestyleokay, thank you

[@Milestyle]

@@Kevin-zp6lyoh ya, forgot I did add some heat shrink to end.

[@Kevin-zp6ly]

@@Milestyle oh okay thank you

[@QthemanTV]

Will this work with 2018 q50

[@Milestyle]

I’m sure it would, work on 2017 q50

[@senditshop4032]

yes just did it on my 2018 q50. black to black red to red and white to green and all functions work. dont cut wires just do like him and push into the back of the connector

[@RucciWrld]

Can I do the driver side

[@RucciWrld]

Mine is just flashing as well

[@Milestyle]

I’m not sure we didn’t try on driver side, but see why not if find wires for brake light

[@Milestyle]

Swap red wire onto green wire, and white to red. Work out better

[@Tangerine457]

Wait red to red and white to olive ?

[@Milestyle]

No you want white to red and olive to red, hope that helps

[@victorbravo4634]

Can you please tell me the right colors please

[@Milestyle]

Are you asking about the wire colors?

[@victorbravo4634]

Yes please

[@Milestyle]

@@victorbravo4634want color wires black to black, white to red, red to green. Found that work for us. Hope that helps you out

[@victorbravo4634]

@@Milestyle thank you so much!!

[@Milestyle]

@@victorbravo4634 no problem sir

[@tomcriscuolo]

You know why my diffuser wires doesent reach the taillight wires

[@Milestyle]

Idk,,, someone cut the too short? That sucks, get some 12ga or 10ga wire and extend them

[@tomcriscuolo]

@@Milestyle thanks for responding. Got it to work.

[@Milestyle]

@@tomcriscuolo awesome!! Glad to hear working

[@cigar6]

hello how do you get access to the trunk wires?

[@Milestyle]

Just pull up plastics trim around back of trunk

[@ausmanxx]

“My face is the pill”

[@marcusstubbs1662]

How you get the wire to run from the diffuser to the trunk. You made a hole somewhere?

[@Milestyle]

@@marcusstubbs1662 we ran the wires thru rubber drain plug at bottom of trunk, put hole in rubber plug.
