On the subject of getting the yellow wires thru the rubber grommet tube; what i did was loosen both ends of the tube from the car body. Spray wd40 down the rubber tube to make it slippery inside. Then using copper wire (from the earth of a 3 core cable) made a tiny u-hook, enough to hook onto the yellow cable end. Pass the copper hook down thru the rubber tube and hook the cable back up. A little bit fiddly but it only took a minute to do each side. I made sure to use plenty of cable ties and duct tape to stop any potential cable buzzing/rattles. The rest was easy...although I did break a couple of plastic trim fixings when pulling it apart.

I'm doing this install today, that will helped me ton, thanks !

@@BriGuy503Overall, I love them. The larger lights could have better fitment. There's some gaps on the top that I'll need to fill in with something. Those crescent shaped trim pieces that attach to the hatch lights don't fit that great either. All that said, buy them again. The zip tie trick was clutch. I wrapped some duct tape around those pieces so it would slide a little easier thru the wires.

Ya the fitment on mine wasn't perfect but still good enough to not really care.

Maybe double check the wiring? I'm not sure, that's odd that both aren't working.

Hey when you did your down pipe or exhaust did you have to purchase any extenders for the 02 sensors? i got a 02 code

For the wiring? No. Fit perfect. Or do you mean a spacer? I've heard of people running a spacer on the sensor so that it didn't throw a code. I had mine tuned so it doesn't throw the code any more

If those tail lights have a ‘FOG’ light when you put the car into reverse, (inner left) switch the BROWN and WHITE wires to get a reverse light.
