Is it just plug and play? I didn't get any harnesses or anything with it. Just the lights themselves...I can't seem to find a guide or anyhting online.

I think it just takes 8mm nuts.They might be 10mm, but I think 8 sounds right.

No mods necessary as far as I know.

It is plug and play. You will no longer need the side bulbs as they will be replaced by a simple "reflector" and you can use your Zenki nuts to put back on the new light assembly. I would also caution being gentle with tightening the new ones on as the bolts are not the best quality. When you take the Zenki Tails off you will see that they are held with an extra "tar" type sticky material that becomes stringy so use caution removing them as to not get that sticky stringy crap on your paint.

One of the easiest mods you will do!

That means they are japanese lights.

USA had a light there, Japan did not.

I'm thinking of the LED Kouki "style" tails and that is what I based my post from. I didn't read completely into this thread. I just came into this thread with the, "I'll help you citizen!" superhero type attitude. Sorry....<stealthly exits>

Make sure you put enough goo on the corner lights. When I did mine, I apparently didn't put enough on and water would leak into my trunk. I fixed it just the other day.
