Third to do this! (that I know of...)

Just finished from the wiring... and since it was Van (iinokturnalii) that helped me through it, I thought I'd just give him credit here... (and "Pedro" of course!)

Now... I hope to have a little diagram up on how I wired it... I thought I was slick in totally bypassing the stock harnesses without cutting them (in case I ever need to go back)... it worked out, but it could have been better...

Some tips for future DIY-ers...

1) Don't overtighten the nuts on the newer lights... the screws seem to be a tad weaker on them... ( I broke one :(

2) If you use 2 converters, instead of being a dumbass like me and cutting the wire you don't really need (i.e. the right wire for the left converter, and vice versa), use it for the reverse light!

3) In my way, you also use the ground wires from the converter/adapter... just tap them in as well...

4) Correction... the reverse lights are 7440... the 3157/3156 bulbs have similar bases, but the bulb itself is too big...

don't forget the extra ~$20-$30 for the wiring harness and bulbs...
