? on Inspire tails...

Do they just bolt on and plug in, or do I need harnesses like the 02' tails.......

you will need the harness as well. The reason is that the socket in the tail lights are larger for the inspire/02 tails than the 99-01.

I just used tape also, no big deal. But a $5 harness can't hurt.

it very easy to install. as for the harness. at first i have the tail lights without harness, it is ok with some tape on it. Later on i bought the harness from Tim and put it on. Now i don't need to worry that the bulb will rattle inside the tail lights. It up to you. Just put some electrical tape, and it should be fine.

Charles, I still have the '99 harness...just like it was said above, you need to tape the turn signal bulb with some electrical tape. But if you're gonna do it, for the couple of bucks that it costs for the harness, I would just get it..

you can just use tape to make the bulb fit properly for an inspire tail.

INSPIRE tail & 02 TL tail have same look. The only difference I know is the PRICE... INSPIRE tail cost more than $350 parts only. plus shipping from Japan...
It was awsome before 02 TL release.
