Problem with Euro Taillights i received....

[Qxxx4]

So i got these on ebay a month ago, and theyve been sitting in my basement. The lights are perfect, really nice looking, but the wires that come with them, which convert the qx4's taillight bulb to the size that fits these, and same for the reverse lights. Read the pics on the link below to see what im talking about

so what are my options besides cutting the cars wiring and soldering to these sockets. Im good at soldering and good with wiring and i just need some ideas here. I spent 25 emails with the seller (motormayhem) and the guy is an IDIOT. he kept askign me to ship the ENTIRE set of lights back for an exchange and refused to jsut exchange the wires alone and said its ...not possible??? WOOWWWW he had alot of problems and is no longer on ebay so thats good, but now im stuck with lights i cant wait to install but cant because they dont work! i need turn signals and reverse bulbs!!!!

you cant use your original wiring harness and sockets? the harness unplugs right there at the light.

LOL im not an idiot fueler! Yes the brake light is like that, but the turn signal and reverse need the wiring that converts the bulb socket to a smaller socket, and unfortunately their cheaply made and the reverse socket doesnt hold the bulb in it falls out and the turn signal simply doesnt work due to weak connection. Im trying to find a place that sells these sockets so i can make my own wires. Someone on here postesd the same problem as me b4 and said he got his at a nissan dealer ( i emailed 2 with no reply) and the guy that posted it nvr responds to me!

I see. I think ive heard of this before too. Sucks they sell it like that. Good luck, post up the results when you find them for future people in your situation

yeah it looks like nobody can help me much, I dont think theyd sell those wires at the dealer here in canada. Oh well, Im in college for electronics engineering, this is so easy to remake if only i had the replacement partssss! thx fueler, ps your truck is exactly like mine minus the window vents and the rims. Its gorgeous love your dirt pics send me a link to your site for it if you have one

[fueler]

be happy that your light isnt held together with red tape and a hole in your bumper

[Qxxx4]

fueler i hope that wasnt your truck, i love the keys hanging thats awesome...slickroger...sorry to hear about your crash! I hope someone finds a way to fix this besides remaking the wires myself, saves me a hassle
