I have those exact Tails, but mine came with a new harness, so it plugged right in like OEM.


Sounds like yours possibly didn't come with the correct harness?

Contact your seller. He owe's you an answer.

it looks fine...but one of the OEM light bulb wont fit the space in new taillight. (i believe it should be the back-up light)

i wonder if anyone have the same problem.
i will also contact the seller...

Its probably because you have a 98-00 model. I beleive the back up light on the 98-00 is a 7440 bulb. while the 01+ models switched to a 921 bulb. The 921 bulb has the base of a 194/168 but has a bigger head. So the 7440 bulb is to big to fit into the 921 socket.
