Wiring LED Taillights

I'm about to replace my stock 92 taillights with Rusty's taillight housing and two sets of LED lights. I have a few questions on how to actually wire this all up.

Having talked to someone who did this on his 89, he recommended I buy this converter, that he used and didn't have an issue with.

And that I get an electronic flasher. Some guide I came across told me to get both the hazard and turn flasher relays, so I'm getting these:

Hazard:

Turn:
http://www.autozone.com/autozone/pa...=search&fromType=oem&itemIdentifier=6413_0_0_


So the guy I was talking to said he butt-connected some wires and pigtailed them. I'm not very experienced with electrical. However I know a thing or two, and have a friend who can help. But I was wondering if all I need is the converter and relays and this would work. A friend tried doing this on his 97 and didn't use a converter, and ended up having to wire up a smaller 2'' light for his turn signal. I'd like everything to go to one light. The lights I bought have a plug that goes into them and a ground, turn signal, and brake wire come off it. In one housing, I have a red and a white light. Red is for brake, turn, etc. And the white is for reverse. How is the reverse wired? Directly to the stock setup, or through the converter?


Any tips would be appreciated. Sorry for the lengthy post.

What you use, depends on what kind of LED lights you bought. Stop-Turn-Tail lights have 3 wires. If your Jeep has separate bulbs for stop/tail and for turn, just wire up the STT lamps. If you bought
Stop-Tail LED lights you will need a converter. Back up lights are just power and ground. You will need a heavy duty of LED compatible blinker relay, the emergency flasher relay will probably work as is.

Butt connectors will work, but soldering and using marine grade shrink tube will result in more permanent and weather resistant connections.
