98+ tail lights...Installation
 
Well i might have got my hands on some 98+ taillights, i was just wondering, i know they are a direct fit into the tail light housing but do i have to do anything to the wires...

chad has a write up on it somewhere on the site

V6Cam 08-27-2005 09:20 PM

but how can i do it without buying a new wiring harness...is there any way possible...

V6Cam 08-29-2005 11:08 PM

I got the tail lights...for 60 bucks...i think it was a great deal...just cant wait till they get here...

i woudlnt think you need to do anything with the wires? you just need to put the blinker in the new spot

well i just plan on doing this part....

2. Rerouting the brake light wiring.
a. remove the shroud undernieth the steering wheel (lower dash), locate the light blue wire coming from the brake switch. Cut the wire about 2 inches from the switch and run a new wire from the switch side down the length of the car to the plug in the rear. Either attach a connector (PITA) inside the plug, or simply cut the light blue wire on the newer harness and connect.
i. reinstall the Camaro panel while (a friend helps here) installing the newer lens' and all of the nuts.
h. reinstall the lower dash panel.

Ok...i have them on the car...i dont have any bulb in the amber section just the socket...i have the brake and turn bulb on the outside portion...and everything else is good...i just need to get wiring from the front so i can have the amber section for my turns or i can just leave that out and put like my strobe kit into that area...i have pics...but they suck i will post them in a minute or so once i get links for them...

BTW...dont mind the VERY DIRTY CAR...the road we live on which is like 10 miles long is getting repaved so all the dust and crap is getting all over the car...and i makes no sense in washing it if its only going to gett dirty the very next day...but again
