I got the 02 taillights without the harness and mine work fine but I have white turn signals which is illegal but i dont care. but you could always just buy the orange bulb.

I ordered mine from Miami Acura on a monday and they came in on friday.

You don't need to order the wiring harness. The only problem you may have is the turn signal part of the harness, the socket is not the same size, from the 99-01 to the '02..so you may need to put a bit of electrical tape to hold the bulb in the socket. That's what I did and I have no problems.

I used that grey 3M double sided tape and it works great. Ive been thinking of getting the harness though. Is the correct replacement bulb available yet?

Yupz.... you dont need the wiring harness for the 02 tail lights.. just reuse the ones u have right now and strap electrical tape to hold it in place... i too am using super white turn signals.. they're sooo nice at nite.. they seriously blind you...but they're arent bright in the day time though... well u can reuse the bulbs in ur car rite now too and just order the tail lights

I ordered the tails, harness and bulbs from autocarparts.com and they arrived within around 3 days. Very easy installation, especially if you have the harness. I thought Tim was only goingg to give me the orange bulb, but he included the brake and reverse bulbs too! If you have the harness, you can pre-mount the bulbs into the tail light piece, and then simply unplug the old harness and plug in the new one. Plus, it will be easy to switch back if you ever need to. The harness is probably not essential, but I felt it was worth the few extra dollars.

I ordered my Inspire tails straight from Japan when they first came out. No wiring harness necessary for the bulbs.
