If your talking about your rear 1156 signal lights, the guy probably gave you a normal 1156 bulb type. Our stock ones come 1156A, which has to do with how the small notches you see on the base of the bulb. Just shave one of them down with a nail filer and it should lock into place.

not this again!

i had the Saber/Inspire tail lights on my car and it was a nightmare b/c everyone kept telling me the bulb was the same as the 02-03 lights (it wasnt)

just do like one member said and file one of the nubs down... and it will go in no problem.

The USDM harnesses don't fit in the JDM tail lights? If you switch the harnesses around from the JDM to USDM then it will work no?

the problem with this is the only people who would buy jdm tail lights (99-01) ... cannot use thier usdm harness b/c they changed the harnesses from 99-01 and 02-03.

its best to modify the bulb and it will go in just fine.. otherwize you will need to buy the 02-03 wiring harness and use it on the jdm tail lights.
