Alright, after 7 hours of labor, i managed to get the european tail lights installed. had to run the brake light source from the hazard switch. Then on teh passenger side i pinned the wiring wrong and it caused the car to engage reverse when braking.

im going to order the european rear fog switch and wire that up too. i already pinned teh rear fog, it just needs a power input.

Where'd you get that wiring connector that seems to fit so well? lol

I had crossed wires in mine after wiring up my tails, and when I would step on the brakes with the left turn signal engaged, my transmission would downshift and the car would jerk BIG time.

Lemme know how you wire up the Euro switch when you get it. I want rear fogs too!

^^ thats EXACTLY what happened to mine. it was only on teh passenger side though. thats because on teh driver, pin 6 is ground and pin 4 is reverse. i did the same on the passenger. on the passenger its pin 6 reverse and pin 4 ground >.>

except under braking with the right turn signal, all the lights would tweak out. driver side was fine. but having it engage reverse by just pressing the brakes freaked me out.

I got the plug out of a 91-93 acura integra. turns out the plug was just a hair off. i depinned it and the pins fit PERFECT though.

Ill let you know about the switch. The one i might get doesnt have the dimmer but is only $20 something. The one with everything is $40 around there.

Teaser pic for yall

If i can get a spare 3rd brake light, im gonna make a mold and make my own clear 3rd brake light. with led's! lol.

NICE! Where'd you get the Euro plate from? I'm still suprised at how Ford USA kept the width of the trunk lines to accommodate the rear Euro plate.

Oh, and too bad I sold my old 3rd brake, otherwise I would have lent it to you hehe. Mines came with LED's. Sadly I haven't seen it light up in person yet lol

Its my friends plate. Genuine direct from Deutchland lol! I cant find the link, but i was pretty cheap. 24 shipped new from ebay.

If i get a spare i will try to make a clear cover. i found this kickass how to on making clear reflectors with resin lol.

Anyone looking for a Euro grille? I got a 98-01 upper/lower grille that's no longer in use (cleaning out my garage).

not entirely sure about this yet, but if i do decided to find another car, ill pobablly part out some parts i put in. my 22mm rear sway, think its a progress. and my roush suspension kit, been about a 10,000 miles on it. but with the suspension id have to swap with your stocks.
this isnt a sure thing, just want to see what interest there is out there..

i do have a svt wing if anyone wants it, i bought it but dont think im ever gonna put it on..
