How do you wire the AAC Afterburners?
 

I did not get instructions for what ever reason and do not want to wait until Monday to call / finish.

Anyone able to help?

Hope this helps. Been trying to get pics. Now, this is for the LED version, not the CCFL.

On the driver side. Splice into the Black/White wire and connect the solid red afterburner wire. (positive)
Splice into the solid black wire and connect the Red/Black Afterburner wire. (ground)

Passenger side. Splice into the Purple wire and connect the solid red afterburner wire. (positive) Splice into the solid black wire and connect the Red/Black afterburner wire. (ground)

You run both afterburner lights together into on splice. Example 2 Red afterburner leads into 1 Black/White wire on Driver's side. And so on. I used T-Taps from Auto Zone (they are blue I believe 18 Gauge connectors).

Hope you have no problems. Pics keep coming out blurry and when I try to crop them or zoom in, they are unrecognizable. Best of luck! Lets see them on the site when you're finished!

I was going to get pics of this, but work hasn't stopped! Remember, TEST your lights before you get them into the housings! Would suck to seal everything up to find out you've got a problem.

They are very easy to install, installed mine myself. Did you get them hooked up?

I didn't get any directions as far as wiring with my afterburners either.... I watched the installation video multiple times and seem to have it down, but I haven't installed them yet because I don't have any directions on the wiring. I need a video or pics....

PM me your email address and I will forward the PDF directions.

Sorry PieMan.. Can't find the file..but I can send you photos of the set up..it's super easy. Or you can contact Justin at AAC and he will get the PDF to you. He's pretty prompt about sending it. Truely Sorry man! Thought I still had it.

Check this post here has the link to the Install PDF:

Thanks dude, Huge Help!

Guess I dint have to send you those pics Pieman! Hope you get them installed easily!! And post dome pics up when your done!! ;). I have the CCFL tubes and I believe there is abit more wiring for this versus the LED version.

Just finished up installing the Afterburners from AAC and Smoked Taillight covers from HeadLight Armor. It was quite time consuming and took some TLC, but I think they came out pretty good. The pictures were taken with my IPhone so the quality isn't the greatest, but still good. Let me know what you think! :chevy:

Really nice job! Now you gotta paint those bezels black! If you like that, that is.

In that last picture, are your light on!? I want to know how you wired it to get your afterburners to stand out so well. Mine don't do that...

HMMMM

On the passenger side I have black, green (with white strip) and Brown (with white strip) and the drivers side - black, yellow (with white strip) and purple.

The AAC lights have solid black (ground I would assume) and solid red only.

Would it be different wiring since I don't have RS taillights?????

And Pumpkin, your lights still aren't right? Like Pie's picture, that's all you should see is the afterburner loop. I still don't understand how yours ended up not working when you clipped the tab on the bulb.

PM me your email address. I have installed the CCFL lights and have a detailed WORD file with pictures and install set of instructions.

Thanks folks. I got it done. The pdf file above helped. Thanks again

I don't get it either.. I wired in all the right places... They come on but aren't as noticable as piemans.. Not sure I want to try snipping prongs again on the bulbs, and have to go buy another set. I'll have one of my SATX C5 guys take a look at it.

I did end up snipping one of the inside prongs on each bulb, and it came out good.

The burners really stand out, and when I'm driving during the day I just flip the light switch one spot to the right and off I go!

I actually like the chrome looking Bezels.... I might be one of the only people on here, but I think it goes good with my rims and my Flowmaster tail pipes, not planning on changing them....

Riverbucks.... The drivers side ones are different colored wires then the passenger.... I just went black to black, and then the positive ended up being the middle wire on the passenger, so I just went with the same on the drivers side and it worked.... Hope it worked out well for ya

SOOOOO.... had my afterburners installed for two days and did a lot of driving around... Got to the gym and figured, "hey, let me check it out and make sure everything is still intact and looking good". So I look, and the Burner to the far left had fallen from the fixture and was hanging out inside the housing loosely... GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!
I had a feeling when installing it like "man, is this minimal 3M tape gonna be enough to hold the burners in place??" Guess what, IT WASN'T. So I just had to pop out the light again and take off the Lens. I siliconed the Burner to the light so it shouldn't end up falling now! It was such a pain being I took so much time and effort in doing it the first time to have to take the lens off AGAIN....
So no one else has the problem I just experienced, when installing your burners reinforce them with something else other then the supplied backing tape on them, you'll thank me later.
Cheers,

I installed the CCFLs and used epoxy to hold them in place. No problems so far.
