Can someone post a simple diagram of the wiring on both rear taillight housings? I just need to plug them in and factory schematics give me the hives.

TIA

Eric - I might have exactly what you need. I was just (yesterday!) rummaging through the junk in my door pocket and found the hand drawn one I made. I'll go see if it's still there. Can I fax it to you?

Eric - notes might not fax clearly .. hope this helps

light housing has five male connections, two over three

Left side (from center of car to left):
Two: Black/Green - 2 Brown
Three: Brown/black stripe - 2 thick black - Tan/Red Stripe

Right side (From Center of car to right:
Two: Brown - Black/Green
Three: Tan/Brown Stripe - 1 thick black - Tan/Red Stripe

[in both, the 2 brown line up over the Tan/Red Stripe pins]

Hope this gets you reasonably close... these were rough notes not a wiring diagram
{ I didn't see Doug's reply before I posted.. how close was I?}
