Airdale,
Also make sure that you "DO NOT" plug in the small side marker lights. They look just like the oem connectors. I was told by Tony at Precision and others on this forum that have done the install that you don't need to plug them in to get the side marker lights to work. And it is true. I just taped mine off and coverered the hole that they plug into to. You don't want them to bounce around and short things out. I saw a post earlier mention that if you do plug them in it will blow fuses.
I hope this helps. IMO they really look nice. Have had several comments that they make the car look newer.

They are plug n play. Unplug all the bulb holders from the original lights, remove the signal and brake bulbs from their holders, keeing the reverse and brake bulbs in their holders. Re-insert the reverse and brake bulbs and their holders into the new light cluster, connect the LED signal and brake bayonet bases fromt he new light to their respective holders (that you took bulbs out of) and plug these into the new lights.
Ignore the park light connectors on the new lights. Your park lights will still work as the park light power source piggybacks on the main/brake lights anyway.
Done!
Check for hyper blink and cruise control function (if you have cruise). Add resistors if you have either of these issues.

Hello all,
I just received my new led tail lights in the mail. I was suprised there is no oem type pig tail on the new tail lights. Must I reuse the pigtail from the stock assembly? If so, is this reversible???
Do the new leds need to use some of the old oem parts?
For that money $500.00+-, I thought these tail lights would be 'plug and play'.
After reading the last 14 pages I am more confused than before.
Has anyone done a step-by step? With photos, diagrams, and schematics?
Thanks.

Night mare LED taillights
Hello,
This LED taillight has turned into a night mare for me.
First I blew the two side-marker fuses. Disconnected that mess and put bulbs back into the original sockets. (Maybe that's wrong.) Will take those lamps out, first thing.
I replaced the 7.5 amp fuses for the side markers , but the brake lights do not light up now.
Or the center light.
And the TIP is stuck in park.
That's the bad part, Can't get the car to go into gear. Maybe it needs a light or some feedback from the brake light pedal switch for the tip to move out of park and into drive?
Fuses for brake lights look OK. Same circuit as cruise control.
Also when I try moving the shifter with the engine running it lights up the PSM and abs dash lights.
Unless something just happened to break in the steering /shifter locking device, I am stumped.
Ideas?
I am ready to just go back to stock. If I still can.
Thanks.
