Problem with '03 Tail Lights
Now i dont know if i did something wrong, but it seems as if i need more than two harnesses for my new tail lights. because i had to tape down two bulbs on each side. the turn signal on both sides and the brake light directly beneath both turn signals. Is this normal or did i simply just not put in the bulbs correctly? what the hell is goin on? HELP!!!!

Hey yo, where did you get your 03 Taillights? How much? Is the harness problem the only trouble your having?? Thanks.

I just noticed the problem as I am installing the lamps right now.
The problem (minor one) is that the bulb below the turn signal (outer tail/brake light bulb) is a tight fit in the new housing. No biggie. After almost squeezing all of the blood out of my fingers trying to turn the bulb into that socket, I decided to stop being an idiot
and turn it in with a wench... but don't squeeze the too much while doing this or you'll damage it

You put em in wrong, mine fit PERFECTLY, the only issue was the turn signal, until I got the right harness...try it again silverstreak, you are probably not aligning and turning the sockets in right

Like I said, you did something wrong...THEY ALL FIT PERFECTLY, after you get the signal light sockets....if worse comes to worse, go to your dealership and have them turn the lights in for you....of course you'll look like an idiot, but at least you wont be freaking out anymore.
