04+ JDM tail light mod -- EASY!

I liked the look that was in this thread : https://www.i-club.com/forums/showpo...23&postcount=1
So my awesome b/f and my genius cousin decided to see what the 3 hours of wiring was all about and do it on my car. Needless to say, about 2 minutes later they were done and here's the outcome!

Don't pay a f**kload of $$$...do it yourself. YWIA!

Basically, take the bulb from the round light and move it to the outside hole. Take the bulb from the outside hole and move it to the middle hole, but remove the bulb from the plug. Move the bulb from the middle hole to the round light. Done. Done. And done.

Again, YWIA.

I'm not sure. I've only seen this done on 04+, but I'm sure you could play around with it and do the same kind of thing.

you just remove the buld that goes into the NEW middle. The rest you just move the whole thing over

You're welcome (although I didn't have a hand in doing any of it).
Jonathan (my genius cousin) says you're welcome too!
