I wired mine up yesterday. PO had taken them off. bolted housings back on bumper (does your bumper have mounting holes?), got 36" of 14 gauge wire, (guessed wrong, couldn't tell from wiring diagram, probably 16 gauge), cut into 4 equal lengths, stripped ends, stripped ends of existing wires PO cut at bumper (does your eta have these?), got 4 crimp connectors, 4 female plug connnectors, crimped on plug connectors on one end of each of 4 new wires, laid 2 wires into each of rubber plugs, inserted rubber plugs into FL housings, crimped old wires and new wires in connectors. connected pug connnectors to bulb in lenses, mounted lenses in housings. changed one bulb, when it didn't light up. yahoo! assumed that black was ground, brown hot, but that for a light it doesn't really matter. had one pretty good lens from parts car, got 2nd one from u-pull for $10.

Cheers,

Rex
