Default JDM Tail-Lights

I just got my JDM tailights and have ran into a snag. I have an 04 and noticed the plug on my tail harness is a little different than the ones on the new tails. I was wondering if anyone knows a solution to this problem. I am going to look more into it tomorrow when I maybe can get time. I can figure it out but want some info from people that have done it before. I don't want to do it the long way if I can help it.

You also have to shave down a couple of plastic ridges on the large plugs as they are reversed on the JDM tail-lights (at least on the '06 models). This takes about 5 minutes, tops. No change should be needed to the wiring, though.

I finished putting them on yesterday. It was easy but I had to do it one handed. Instead of actually grinding off the tabs I used a razor blade. I was trying to beat the rain and cut the **** out of my left thumb. Other than that it was super easy and clean. I think it matches my PPW paint rather well. Thanks for the help guys.

Hey, all that matters is you dig 'em. Folks don't like it, they can get their own car and do it however they like. Personally, i think they're clean looking.
