The only concern I had was around the ease of changing lamps - it could get messy with wires (tails) everywhere. dazzasgotav8's solution above deals to that nicely! :thumbup:

thanks wpoll and its Darren so close LOL , I'm convinced the lights are the brightest they have been since I've had the car.

I have removed a metal bracket from one of my spare tail light assemblies. I only have 4 connections. How do I determine which contacts go to which bulbs?

Edit: I think I have figured it out. The far right pin visits all three bulbs- Gotta be GND.

glad you've figured it out just remember to trim the tracks so you have plenty to do the bend and solder the wire on , happy my little fix is helping others out.
