Fitting 04+ clears on my 03 3.0!

[gregwx5]

I'm not sure if anybody did this, but here is what I did to make it work:

I bought my clears on ebay and when I got them they turned out to be the clearer 04+ lenses...so i put them in anyways and plugged it in...but the middle brake/parkin light would not work (the bottom light and blinker worked fine). So i tried moving the bulb around but nothing worked..I pulled out the new clear and compared the wiring to my ambers and here is what i found:

The connector used is a 6 pin connecter but only has 4 wires running to pins(female end):
On the right side: 2,3,5,6
On the left side: 1,2,4,5

The actual 04+ clear taillights only had 4 prongs inside the connector (male end):
On Right had prongs on: 2,3,4,5
On Left had prongs on : 2,3,4,5

So terminal 4 on the Right, and terminal 3 on the left were never connected to any power...Next I took the female part of the connector (attached to the car wires) removed the white clip/cover and exposed the wires/snap connector...

On the right hand side I unsnapped the wire in position 6, and resnapped it into position 4

On the left hand side I unsnapped the wire in position 1, and resnapped it into position 3

Put the white snap in covers back on and now all the tailights and brake lights work just like they are suppossed too!!

I am asuming that everybodies 03- wiring harness/connector looks like mine, and that all the 04+ clears have the same female connector as mine...either way it worked for me and it was completely freeeee....i was getting nervous that I would have to send back my clears!!

So do the different patterns look OK together?

I bought the clears on ebay and paid 145 shipped....as to the different designs you can't really tell the difference unless you know what to look for...plus everyone will be looking at the clears if anything!! I'll get some pics soon..been very busy this weekend!
