I am changing my taillights but am not sure how to change the wiring. The old lights are 3-wire and the new lights are 2-wire. How do I have to change the wiring to convert to the 2-wire lights? The old and the new are LEDs.

Ah, go for it! I've changed all my lights to LEDs. They are brighter and will last forever. The only thing to note is an ordinary turn flasher won't work because, being essentially a thermal circuit breaker, it needs more current to trip it than the LEDs draw. You can use a fancy new flasher, or do what I do: add a load in parallel with the LEDs to increase the current so the flasher will work. The load can be an ordinary bulb ( I use the old bulbs that the LEDs replaced) or a resistor, and can be placed anywhere it is convenient. I put mine on the electrical panel right next to the flasher.How did you do it? Did you need a special flasher? I'm shopping for tail lights now, but I heard the LED ones can be a pain and some don't have all functions. I was going to go with the standard 1157 units, but I like the LED's also...
