6.2. REAR SIDE OF THE CAR

We will go through all the connections of the main harness, starting from the rear to the front.
We will start with the connections for the right hand tail/stop light combination and the right hand indicator. Next connection is the one for the license plate illumination, followed by left hand tail/stop light and ditto indicator.

The connections bear the following codes:
>582 Tail lights and license plate illumination
>490 Indicator left
>54  Stop lights
>312 Mass/ground return (brown)
>491 Indicator right
>57 Optional fog tail lamp (a loose wire without connector)

Attention! For each of the four taillights, only one of the two M5 threads is internally connected to the ground return of the bulb. In order to know for sure which of the two M5 threads that is, remove the plastic cap from the armature and check the connection (see picture).
