Euro Tail Light installation???
OK I have the lights in and everything works.
I read the instructions on cutting the white wire under the dash and I'm confused.
How do I get to the wire? Do I remove the black cover under the steering wheel to access the wires?
Thanks for the help.

Thx, The pic only shows the wire to cut.
I'll remove the black plastic cover/light and see what's under there.

I installed the taillights and harness while at work, 1/2 hour tops.
Just a note, Just unplug the existing harness near the right side muffler/tire. Then snake in the new harness and connect everything up.
I pulled the old harness though before I realized that both the new and old harness are used.
Also its pretty dirty in there, FYI.

You don't have to entirely remove the black panel. You can "tug" it downwards at the end, closest to the firewall, enough to get to the white wire you need to cut. Push it back into place with the retainers after you cut the wire. Real easy deal :yesnod:

Allow the brakes and flashers to operate independently :) :)
