Spent sunday installing the contour cap. Ran into some minor issues with the mounting rail not being smooth. We had to chisel a couple of spots flat. Also tried wiring the light with the green and white/grey leads but had the same blinker issue. Tried green and grey (ground) with the same result. Did someone figure this out yet? Looks like the new cap has adjustable door height opening.

Did you get the brake light wiring figured out?

Thanks,

Just joined the club. A lot of good info in here. Anyone think this solution could work for the canopy brake light? I’d rather tap into the trailer wiring than the tail light or tailgate wiring. I bought a T connector so I could return everything to untapped stock.

I used these two items to avoid cutting the factory wiring, I also needed to wore a license plate light and tge harness worked great.

Awesome! I already have the first one. How did you actually tap into it? I was thinking of ordering this:

Tekonsha 2 to 3 Taillight Converter for Connecting Tow Vehicles w/2 Wire Systems to Towed Vehicles w/3 Wire Systems https://a.co/d/iCb5iBs

Seems to cancel out the turn signals.

I wired the right and left turn/stop together. The light blinks with turn signals and is solid with the brakes .

That's a sweet side panel on the Alu-Cab.

Checkout my post here on fifth brake light wiring.
