naw.. the relay is reverse on inspire and our lights.. what i am assuming u did was just install the lights and plug the harness into the bulbs already there... u have to remove all the bulbs and put the bulbs from ur stock lights in.. u will not use the extra parking light there... if u notice carefully, our relay sits on the left light.. in japan it is reverse.. their relay is on the right one..

i doubt its that because when i press the brake pedal the left stop lights up and the right one doesnt..........but the inspire harness is most likely the culprit here

It is your bulb, it is busted. Check your high mount brake light or one of the tail lights' brake light. When you were installing your inspires, you probably busted one of the bulbs. Our car senses the brake bulb if it is not working, it is a safety issue.

Try using your old harness. That's what I did, when I bought my Inspire tails, I did not get the harness. I had to be creative to install the park lights though. That's a topic of its own. If I were to do it again, I could have just diabled the park light, take out the bulb and tape it up. I ended up putting a hole and in so doing got the plastic into the chamber, so now, I have bits of black all over the place...nobody knows, but I do.
