21730 - Tail Lamp Harness.Suit Mitsubishi MQ (2pcs)
Adapts OEM vehicle side tail lamp connector to 6pin DT connector for use with aftermarket lamps such at our 86710P filament (globe) combination tail lamp or our 93SO282ARWM2LR LED combination tail lamp.
Supplied as pairs, each harness adapter's overall length is 600mm and extends the OEM wiring to better suit relocating or aid fitment of lamps.
We supply these to tray top manufacturers and other fabricators as a solution to fit aftermarket lamps that are better suited to their product's intended use than simply reusing the OEM lamps that came with the vehicle.
Issues with LED lamps on vehicles designed or fitted with filament (globe) lamps:
Fitting LED lamps in place of filament (globe) lamps often causes issues with the vehicle's body system such as tripping globe-out warning lights, reporting system errors or flasher lamps going into globe-out mode and flashing fast. One solution requires cutting into the OEM wiring and fitting load resistors which emulate the original filament lamps but this is at the expense of the vehicle's globe-out warning features and potentially illegal as it 1s a requirement under law that indicator lamps must flash at a different rate to warn the driver a globe or lamp has failed. LED flasher units can be another solution but this is becoming obsolete and problematic in later vehicles. Neither of these solutions are cost effective or simple to implement in some vehicles.
Our 86710P is a simple solution as it used globes and therefore works the same as the OEM globe lamp in terms of load and avoiding globe-out issues. The adapter wiring harness listed on this page is used as a plug and play solution and is safe, quick to implement, and requires no modifications to the vehicle's wiring.
