    JDM TAIL LIGHS.. HELP

    i ordered a pair of JDM tail lights. I have a 2000 galant.. this is the problem.. My stock tail lights that i took off had 3 holes for bulbs which is also how many bulbs i got.. The JDM has 4 holes.. it has 2 in the red one in the white stripe for the signal and obviously the reverse.. So i put the beak bulb in the red.. And the other red one that blinks for the turnin signal in the white strip.. Problem is at night when i put my haedlights on the red light is on and so does the signal in the white strip.. I only want the white strip 2 signal not be on all the time.. In the stock lights it was red and worked with the other red light just flashed wen i put on a signal. I was wondering if anybody had this prob or whhat to do.. Maybe if i cut the constant(which eva wire that is) it will only flash and not stay on .. THANKS ALOTT

    altezza harness has two smaller bulbs that would need replacing.

    Rather than screw with the noobs, why don't the powers that be make it so that part of the account creation process involves stating that you have read the full page notice that one should search for things before asking anything, especially in their first few posts. :P

    I used the Altezza harness for my 3rd gen tails, and only one of the plugs was too small, the side indicator. The brake, turn and reverse lights I was able to use without much modification.

    The stock 8g harness has dual filament bulb plugs, if you swith to single it should eliminate your problem. While your at the autoparts store, you should go ahead and get the 4th bulb harness to really make it work right.
