  • WADE: Export tail light question!!

    Hey Wade,

    What did you do with the fourth running light bulb on your SS after you put the export tricolors on your car? I just ordered mine from Japan and understand that I'm gonna have an extra socket to worry about that I dont want to cut if I can help it. What did you do?

        Selling my car? Where did you hear that? I got them for $250 direct from Osaka Japan.

          Sorry..didn't get on last night and just checking the threads out today. I just pulled the bulb and taped over it and tucked it behind the light when I put them in. No issues so far! I think this is my third or 4th year with them now.

            Sweet! Thanks for the reply Wade, that's good to hear. I assume that the turn signal wires were long enough to be rearranged to the outside socket.

              You might need to peel back or cut off some of the electrical tape where all the wires come together to have room to reach. People say you have to cut the sockets or modify the housings to make the sockets fit since they're slightly different. I managed to make mine fit with a little planning and twisting hard and got them to snap in fine. They're just more difficult to get back out, but not impossible. I didn't want to cut my expensive lights or my sockets up in case I wanted to switch back in the future.
