Bulb location for these tailights...

spotdog14 · 07-20-2006, 10:51 AM

Im thinking about picking myself up a pair of these off of ebay, but am woundering in what order do the bulbs go in?

If the picture does not work here is the auction link: Here

Im thinking it goes: (from top to bottom)
Turn signal
Brake
Reverse

But im not really sure, what do you think?

Your right...but they probally give you those red bulbs for the turn signals and brake lights so you dont have the amber color anymore.

true, but i like the amber color turn signal, so if i do get these ill have to get some amber bulbs (no big deal). I was just wondering if my bulb placement was correct...

If they are built to factory specs or whatever, then the "pattern" for inserting the bulbs will be different anyways, so you can't mess it up.

crap, now I want those lights, my carbon fiber ones are starting to look rough around the edges......

EDIT: My wallet was happy to see that it doesn't look like they make a set identical to that for 98-01's LMFAO

........and yeah, you got the pattern down right. Even if you don't, you should have enough give in the wiring to switch them to whichever space you want, I can swap my turn and brake lights.

They do make them 98-01, guess I'll be getting a set soon.
