Default Those with Export Tailights

I'm finally getting around to installing mine and wanted to know what you used to modify the sockets on the lights in order for them to fit. It looks like it only needs alittle knotch cut out so that they will fit...does that seem right? Thanks guys!

I just gently forced mine into the exsisting holes. I didn't want to cut them up if I didn't have to.

what did you do with the extra bulb? I just left it in and tucked it behind the lights...

I just used some persuasion to get the sockets in. With the extra socket, I took the bulb out and shoved it behind the bumper.

Heres a pic of mine for those who wanted pics..

Yeah...I pulled the bulb on mine and duct taped over the socket since I couldn't find where the heck my electrical tape disappeared to! I just let it hang behind the light when I put it back in.

When I turn on the car, my drivers side turn signal is on in the inside remains lite, even though the light is not on. The drivers side turn signal will not blink, but the passenger side does. When I put my hazards on they blink, but thats the only way. I have all the sockets in the right place and didnt mess with any wires. What could be the issue??

Burnt out bulb? Sounds weird to me. Sure it's really lit up? Pull the bulb out of the light and check it and make sure it's fully seated.

my headlights are not installed if that makes a difference. It definitely lights up and blinks when my hazards are turned on....
