Ok, so im here on vacation, looking at this forum. And i see a bunch of people in my thread thinking im open for ideas for what tails are going to go on my car, or talking about what tails they want for their car.

I own my car, so i will do whatever i **** well please as far as mods for it. I want the ones i posted because i want tails with a black housing, and because i dont want to be some idiot who tries to make their car look like something its not. I dont want to be a copy cat by putting mercedes or bmw style tails on my car. And last of all, i dont like their style tail lights that much, and sure it looks great on their cars, but that doesnt mean it will automatically look good on ours as well.

I started this thread to ask how dificult it would be to install the tails i wanted. So all of you who have spammed my thread, go make your own and stop trashing mine.

Woah woah... no need to go ballistic dude. ITS NOT THAT SERIOUS!

Last I checked this a forum. And a forum shares info. And last I checked this thread is talking about tails, so its not like it went off topic. Again...SHARING INFO.

And look at post #33 if you feel that I crapped on your thread...

Evo can you please tell me where did you paste those pics of the BMW 7 style tails from?

I wasn't mad at you lol.

As for going ballistic, I was just checking up on the forum after coming back from the dunes with stress after some guy wrecked my Uncle's brand new 900 RZR.

Where are you gonna order them from ? i like the style of them

 

[Smurfenstein]

Most likely ebay, keep it simple.

I might have to postpone the time of the purchase however, as I maybe in need of a new laptop within the next week so we'll see.

That and getting the springs from RS.

I just bought these taillights and they fit perfectly but the connecters are off. The center lights plug in easy enough and work but the outside lights the connecters are different. Can someone please send me a private message on getting a harness or adapter for it? The purple plug is for the stock taillights and the white is for the SmithClub Black Taillights. HELP!?

Don't think there's a harness yet buddy... You just might be the Guinea pig. Same amount of wires/colors?

I must thank you for taking the role of the Guinea pig. Try sending a PM to maven or sciphi and they could help you out. If you get an answer please pass it along as well as post pictures. I was going to buy these two weeks ago, but I hit a little snag and needed to use the cash for other reasons. =/

 

[Horizon314]

Same amount of wires just a different plug as far as colors go five of the wires match white, two blacks, yellow, & red i believe. There is one set that doesnt match and I believe its like a blue and green. I'm toying with the idea of buying an extra plug housing offline and retrofitting the wires into that or just buying some extra ground wire along with some female and male connecters and rigging it. Ill send a pm to the guys you said though and see what they have to say. Here are a few pics I have of the inside lights though.

 

[Smurfenstein]

I'd say try going somewhere like radioshack, you'd be surprised at what they have laying around.

Other than that, the new lights look great!

 

[Horizon314]

Thanks alot! My father is an electrician so maybe I'll drive down to see him this weekend and he can work something up. I'll check out radioshack to see if they have anything I could use. Its a complete pain but I think it will be worth it in the end.

 

[Mick]

Keep us updated mang.

I have contacted SmithClub and they said they would work with me on actually making a conversion plug and told me it would be somewhat cheap. If this actually does pan out I'll pick up a bunch of them and distribute them to other owners who buy these lights. Its amazing what talk of bad feedback on eBay does lol.

 

[Calintz]

Sounds good Horizon let us know because I'm getting these lights very soon lol

 

[Smurfenstein]

When you get them, send me a PM. At the latest I should have these lights at the end of the month.

Thanks again for taking the first step

 

[Horizon314]

Alright so I have given myself this weekend to figure out how to install these. I have scheduled an appoint with a local aftermarket shop to have these hardwired in on Monday. Either way I will be having either myself or them take pictures and I will do my best to write up and take after pictures on how to install these so you can enjoy the same "badass" look that I will soon have. The aftermarket shop is only going to charge me $35 bucks so if I cant figure it out its not all that bad.

 

[FatKidsCruze]

If there are the same amount of wires and colors, then draw yourself a simple diagram. Depin both harnesses take the stock plug repin it following your diagram and plug in. Enjoy the new look, yes it should be that easy.

AND if it does not then you never cut any wires and can go back to stock in a matter of minutes.

EDIT: ALTERNATELY

You could get a Korean spec plug (to plug into SC tail) a US spec plug (to plug into body harness), buy factory size wiring (unsure of size my guess would be 22ga) and factory set of pins. Then make a simple adapter harness.

Both methods would yeild a clean and OEM-like finish, however the later would require more time and effort but make a transition back to stock take seconds.

Get excited.
