Ok I'm trading my 96+ tails with a guy on here for his 94-95 tails, I didnt change them the first time (had my roomate who works for saleen do them) and now I dont know how to take out the wiring harness??? does it plug in somewhere, or is it spliced? I wanna get these things out today for him but I keep running into snags.... HELP

the 94-95 and 96-98 tails use different harnesses but i dont think there is any splicing done when switching tails. just follow the harness out of the tail and disconnect accordingly.

ahh this thread answers why I don't have a set of 96-98 tails sitting at my doorstep yet.
Its rather simple unbolt the tails, and trace the wiring from the bulbs till you get to the harness where all the wires for the stop,turn and reverse light wires come together. Unplug and WA LA! Almost like majic. LOL

Sorry dude, I started on it on the 9th and got side tracked from one of my many jobs, then got into it again and wondered if I had to cut anything, I was hoping it was pretty easy so I could just take it off and send all in the manner of an hour. Remember my car is at my shop getting redone so I see it about an hour a day... I'll get it done asap...

i was just replacing taillight bulbs in mine over the weekend. the harness plugs in inside the truck. it goes through a big grommet to the actual lights. unplug that and pry that grommet out and send the whole thing.
