Eagle Eye Tail light connector issue 2013 GS
So I was about to install my Eagle Eye tailights and i looked at the connector and its totally different than the stock connector. any thoughts? Pic below.

Perfectly fine buddy. The EagleEye connector snaps INSIDE the stock socket, so you need to remove it first (turn counterclockwise about 1/4 of a turn). Once you remove the bulb, you'll notice the EagleEye connector has the same shape as the base of the bulb. Also notice there're left and right tails, so you don't accidentally reverse them. Oh, and the EagleEyes tails are polarized, so the connector will work just one way. Notice which is the positive side on the socket so you only install each one once, but worst case scenario is you'd have to reverse the connector on non-functioning tails. Good luck.

My pleasure man 
. By the way, I also recommend 'gluing' the resistors ON TOP of the metal subframe (bumper). It's a little challenging to connect them, especially on the inner lights, but doable. Since they can get pretty hot, you don't want them on any plastic. The FRP behind the tails might withstand the heat better, but besides being vertical (the adhesive can fail with enough heat and gravity), I rather not risk damaging it. Good luck with the install. They're a BIG improvement over stock .
