Sigh ... today's tail light swap was an abject failure. :(

It seems that changing tails on a hybrid isn't as simple as plug and play. Because of the led and regular bulb configuration of the hyhoe tails they have a completely different plug for the top led part, one that isn't compatible with the plugs of regular replacement tails. Plus the hyhoe reverse bulb is bigger than normal and will not fit through the replacement light hole. The latter isn't a big deal cause I could have gotten a new white bulb, but the connection is apparently impossible to make because of the hyhoe stock tail light configuration.

Anyhoot ... I'm bummed.

I might take some pics later or tomorrow to explain better but it looks like someone is about to get a sweet deal on a beautiful set of tails.

As to what I'm going to do about my own, I'm not really sure yet ... I'm going to talk to someone about perhaps 'smoking' them but I'm not sure as it isn't my favorite look.

Ugh!!! :Stupid Me:

I'm not sure that's gonna work either Felix ... it seems the connection points are completely unique to the hyhoe and no other light will p&p with them. :(

:banghead: you need to live closer to one of us so that we can come over and get these kinds of things to work for you and show you how do things like splice wire.
