First off, this isn't a place for people to come in and voice how ugly the clear tails are...
As the title states, this will be a walk through on how to modify the euro clear tails to plug right into the American car.
Simple process. Doesn't really need a write up, but I know some people were asking.
To remove your red tails, you just take off the 3 10mm bolts behind the carpet, and then one clip from the outside in the corner by the bumper and black plastic.
1) open up the rear screw on cap on the back of the taillight.
The wires will still be connected inside there.
2) follow the wires in a few inches, there is a clip. (I went to harbor freight and bought a scope to assist me with looking for the clip)
The clip is very small but you simply push in the tab in the middle of it and remove the plug.
-- I'm making it sound easier then it is, it takes a good bit of time to turn your finger the right way to get the right angle, but it will come out---
Matt cut a small hole where the clip was, and removed it easier that way.
You could do it this way, and just reseal that part of the light to keep moisture out. (No need to cut it open, but it would be much faster)
This is how the harness looks, the small plug for inside the lights, and then the other end has the plug for the car harness.
-- you will repeat those steps for both sides, and also from your stock red set.
Once you have all the harnesses removed, you now need to install the light harness off your red set, into the clear set.
The plug only snaps in one way. (Tab facing in towards the tails)
Once you get it clipped back in, also not too easy, but possible, you twist the cap on and you're done.
Reinstall them, plug them in, and you're good to go.
The modes will be a bit different then stock, but they still all work as the should, just not sequential!
