“I bought both tail light assemblies because my left rear tail light assembly melted right where the bulb goes in. I removed the old melted assembly and tried to install the replacement. Two things here: the replacement has a ridge and a larger external rubber grommet that prevented the same fit as the original. I used a razor to trim off the ridge, and initially installed it without the larger rubber grommet. But I removed it and put the grommet back on.
Long story short: leave the bulb installed in the assembly, screw the nuts on, then attach the electrical harness to the bulb socket. I finally got it working.”
“I've discovered the left side tail lights have a factory flaw in them. The turn signal does not work. I first ordered a pair and the right side worked fine. I bought new sockets and bulbs for the left side to no avail. By the time I figured out the problem it was too late to return them. I plugged the right side light into the left side of the car and it worked fine. So I ordered another left side light and it had the same flaw as the first one. I started a return on the second order and sent it back. Still waiting for my refund.”
