my question is can i just cut the the connector of the old led board and hook it up the cable of the new strip and plug everything back up or do i have use a fuse somewhere?

 

No, don't do that! It doesn't work. I just went through the same thing a over the summer. The third brakelight is on its own higher voltage system independant from the rear brakelights. The two diods and resister used on the circuit board has to be incorporated into the LED strips if the diods or resister aren't faulty. I'm working with an electronics guy to remedy that problem on my 07 G35 coupe. I will post more info on the progress.

 

no way really i just hacked up the old board and was lookind for a wat to mount the strip. what did you try to when you attempted to incorporate the led's
