Are you talking about the light sockets not fitting into the 180 lense housing...I was planning on purchasing the conversion set for my 91 and if this means I will need new sockets or a different harness I would like to know also..I hope someone can help ya with this so we will both know...

You have to use the sockets that come with your tailights. if you didn't get the sockets then you got ripped off. Without them the lights are useless. All you need to do is figure out which wire goes to what and cut and splice. If I have time tomorrow I will look and see if I can get the wire colors from my car. But again you do need the sockets with wires or it will not work. you cannot use your existing bulb sockets, they won't fit.
