Default Euro light installation

Hello,

Does anyone know what's involved with installing the clear euro tail lights in the middle like these. Can I use my wire harness or will I have to modify or buy a special purpose harness? Thanks

Depends on what you want those lights to do....

Are you wanting to use them as back up lights?
If so, I'd think you could just run the existing back up light wiring up there and use the wiring as is by installing the back up lights into the bottom (clear) section, and your exisiting brake and tail light bulb and socket into the upper (red) portion.

If you want them as turn indicators, a new additional harness is needed.

Their are 2 ways to do this if you are just using the inner 2 euro's for back up lights which is how the tiger shark rear works you just add a extension to the right backup light wiring (green/black wires i believe) and trim out the lens sockets to fit/lock the backup light sockets in the clear portions on either side. if you go with all 4 euro lens their is a complete wire harness you use, which i got from lapd, or a combination of both ways to have all 4 euro lights/backup light in the inner portion with a tiger shark rear.
