Boost and Tast among others.......


i've got the same tails that you guys(and many others have). i was tryin to put em on when and got myself stuck when it came to physically bolting them on. the screws that were holding my stockers in dont line up and they are WAAAAAY too small for the holes on the new housings. i couldn't find new hardware with the new tails, any help would be great!!!!!


call me an idiot if you like.......haha

So can you mount them or not, loose fitment or something?
Better explain in another post what the actual problem is?

the 2 "plugs" that go into the forward part of the tail light cavity line up and fit fine. the problem is where i took the 2 factory housing screws out and should, i think, put them back in to hold the new housing into place. the screws dont line up nor do they fit the new housing for that matter.


the housing fits in the space, i just cant for the life of me figure out how to hold it in place if i cant get the screws in.

Any of you guys had problem with your cruise control not working after installing this LED tail? I got one from ebay and for some reason - my cruise control doesnt work, but works again with the stock tail.
