The dilemma, new funky rear 03 lights with old non funky 00 wiring harness.
New harnesses from MrT £45
The issue is that 3 of the lights are push fit and will move to the new light fitting, the indicators however are not, they are bayonet and will not fit.
Some people have used a Dremel on the light fitting but this will damage the fitting, so this is what I did.
Buy an OLD rear light wiring harness for £5.
1)Go and buy some amber push fit bulbs from Halfrauds!
2)Cut off 2 of the push fit lamp holders from the new harness with a decent tail.
Trim the smaller lugs off the light fittings with a stanley knife so only the 2 larger lugs remain

3) Cut off the 2 fat bayonet fittings from the harness on the car with a decent tail.


4)Splice the new push fit on to the wires from the old bayonet fitting

5)Heatshrink the fittings if required

6) Install lights back in

7)Turn them all on like a Xmas tree!
