They are little pigtails, cheap to buy new from a dealer or dealer parts place. They plug right in.

The TL had a slightly different harness from the 99-01 to the 02-03. I believe it was the blinker socket that was different. Never heard that about the CL tail light swap.

I don't see how?? I swapped 03 to an 02 3 times & needed the additional sockets for the amber blinkers & 2 amber bulbs.
There was even group buys back in 03 that had all those parts.

Was your car used? Maybe someone did that mod & left the harness when they took them off?
