JDM Inspire Tail lights

Hey I have a question about these Inspire tail lights I've found. Are the tail lights just plug and play on my acura or an i going to need to cut wires and all that jazz? Anyone know?

just take the harnesses off the jdm ones, and put the stock ones on. The jdm ones have the little box thingy on the passenger side taillight, the usdm one have it on the driver side tail light. I forgot to switch these out at first and one of my brake lights didn't work.

all the box for is trailer lighting i believe. so no issues either way unless you are towing harleys or some shit with your rig. Plug and play.

i used the jdm harness, and it one taill light wouldn't work until i switched the box to the other side, then they both worked. Just plug them in, if a tail light doesn't work, then put thte box on the other side I guess. anyhow, install is simple.

I took out the jdm wiring and just used the stock wiring. Works fine. Make sure you eliminate the corner light bulb on the stock harness since the jdm tail light has no provision for it. You don't want to drill a hole for it either unless oyu want to deal with little plastic shavings that are all but impossible to remove from the innards of the housing. I think that corner light is some sort of parking light so it's sort of worthless anyway.
