Question Taillight Swapping Problem!

i posted this on another section but this section may be more appropriate. I am swapping to lt1 taillights. i have the taillight and harness hooked up. i have no brake lights when hooked up. everything else works. there is a light blue wire that my ls harness has that the lt doesnt (at the connector under the left side trunk area). The high mount brakes work but nothing else.

i how do i get the brake lights to work?

well somehow you didn't wire it up right...

i don't know why you did just take a dremel to the lt1 housing and make the ls1 harness work... and then take a 18gauge wire and stuff it into the middle turnsignal houseing and then (*dyke) it into the middle wire (brown) of the brake light harness... mine worked perfectly... took me 5 minutes to take the ls1 housings off and then took the lt1 housing shaved the brake light and turn signal part of the housing... put the plugs back in and finished got it all done in about 20 minutes..
