Euro Tails Installed!
#1
Fresh from an e-Bay auction from Scotland, Euro tails and other bits I picked up...

Hmmm....how to make it work.

Two sets of signals-which one to use!

Nice to see this...

Didn't know about this little screw...

This was a throw in-I bid on it figuring I am paying the shipping cost may as well add it to the package.

Except for the clear signals (bought separately) total price shipped to my door-$125. That's for shipping and the e-Bay winning bids and a little extra for packaging.

Now for the install I did a lot of reading and determined the best way was to cut the stock wiring and install male/female plugs so I can move wires around to get the correct lamps to illuminate.
I drew out the wiring diagram so I could match up the Euro connector with the NA wiring. Inside there are 6 little tabs each corresponding to each lamp, ground etc. I just happened to have an old wiring harness in the garage...

A little re-working gave me a bunch of these...[Image: DSCF7448.jpg]
Crimp some bullet connectors on each wire, connect them up and drop some hot glue in there to hold everything in place and we are set.
More bullet connectors...

Since all of the wires come out of the black foam circle from the taillight I had to push the existing wiring harness in...

After...

The foam seals perfectly against the hole. All of the wires are now inside the trunk under the plastic trim protected from the elements.

Done!

Yes, it's dirty. But these are way cool!

The front signals are to go with my Kijiji find-a urethane Euro bumper for $90.
