I am not familiar with these. So its hard to tell her over the phone and she has little mechanical skills. So how can I tell her what to do. She said the tailights have no lights they came with the frame only they will screw on. so what do I need to put lights or what do I tell her? I dont understand what she is telling me about there is no room for the reverse light. Im guesing there are only two slots. im not sure hope someone can help explain this better to me. and that way I can tell her what needs to be done for them to work...thanks..I need to get this car up and running yesterday....So yup in a rusk right now...Thanks.

Can you ask her to take pictures of the back of the lights? I can't envision what you're describing. Tail lights should be very straightforward, even to someone that has little experience working on cars... so if it's confusing her, there must be something funky with them. It's odd, if they're truly Depo lights, those are usually pretty good in terms of compatibility, and making sense regarding installation. Depo lights are the next best choice after OEM Stanley, usually.

Well from what I understand is that. she said the frame is there but not the light fixtures she said there is only on slot on the tailight and the OEM has two. And she didnt try to screw the fixture in the new one. I will tell her to take pictures. Yea it's hard to understand cause I can envision it either. lol. But she will take pics. Might be up in like 6 hours I have to go to work. and the time difference sucks. I'll update this as soon as I get back from work.. Thanks Deev.

Aftermarket tail lights do NOT come with any wiring or sockets.

When you buy these tail lights, you are expected to remove the OEM circuit boards, sub-harness assemblies, and bulb sockets from each of the four OEM tail lights (held on by Philips screws) and replace them onto the new aftermarket tail light assemblies. This may sound complicated but it's actually a simple procedure.

Hope this helps!

Thanks fellas.. Shit I wish I was home right now I can figure this damn thing out, but I wont be home for a month right now. Well thanks again. I can't seem to let her understand so I called a mobile mechanic to do it. Something I could have done and I have to pay someone to do it. Damn..Anyway last deployment for me.
