Man you're really trying to **** off the round tail light purest organization

Best bet might be to try locating a wrecked/totaled C7 and scavenge pieces from it. Be sure to post pictures when she's done.

It's either bone yard or new? To keep the plugs correct you don't have many choices.2 Wire diagrams and have at it.Probably a 30 Pack and a couple fatty's may help? PATIENTS is your friend

on all of the above. But may find someone with a book on the wiring of the c7 lights & go from that to make them work correct ARE as the c6 car set does.

I can't offer any help.

But I have to say the "no round lights on the c7" was beaten to death on this forum. And now you want to choose the c7 lights over the round lights....you had better hope the c6 guys don't get wind of this. They might burn you at the stake!

That looks surprisingly good. It works well with the rounded rear fascia.
