Question about tail light??
#3
order the harness, otherwise you have to tape up one of the lights to make it sit right and you take the chance of it falling out or breaking from rattling around.
or don't and I can say "I told you so"

the harness of the 00 and 01 fit the 02 lights all but one bulb. i just use electrical tape to tape that one up. No point of buying a new harness just for that. waste of money.

definitely order the 2002 tail lights with the wiring harness... and to make your life easier and order the amber turn signals...
I think the reverse lights are different too.
good luck...

What do you mean order the amber? Doesn't the 2002 harness come with the wiring and all light bulbs? Also, I asked you about the drop-in filter last time. How much did you pay for it? What do say about K&N?

You will still have to buy the bulbs.
I also agree that if you bought a TL, you shouldn't be concerned about saving such a petty amount of money.
Do it right, or don't do it at all.

Yep, the turn signals require some tape to hold the harness and bulb in place.... Harness isn't necessarily needed, but would be a better idea to get the harness..

Yeah, get the harness. The harness will complete the tail coversion mod. Of course, you don't need the harness. You can just tape it up (ghetto, IMHO). Or not even tape it but push it in. It won't be stable but I don't think it will rattle that much to the point the bulb will brake.
My harness didn't arrive until a couple of weeks after I received my tails. Therefore, I had my signla light dangling inside. The trunk liner is sturdy enough to keep the light bulb pressed inward to the tails. And I didn't have any problem with it (for a couple of weeks).

To make this a truly plug and play propostion I would suggest you get both the tails and the harnesses plus the special bulbs required for the turn signal.We currently have all of these parts in stock at our dealership and they can ship this to you if you need it.Amber or red turn signals are legal no other color may be used,but depending on your area and it's police force you can probably get away with other colors.jens
