I'm looking for a way, if possible, to swap my tail lights with someone with an '01 Cobra. They're up for it too and I want to take advantage of it and do the swap!

The problem is that our harnesses are different. One is 5 prong and one is 4 prong. And the amber tail lights have an extra bulb as well.

All help is much appreciated!

do a search, these is a thread that details the install of the 01 tails in our cars.

I'm not just looking for the install of the amber tail light/harnesses into another SN-95... I need to know whether or not I would be able to get the '01 Cobra that the light are coming out of to function properly with the brake light, hazards, blinkers, and reverse lights as well as my own.

I got the tail lights on there! I ended up swapping someone with an '04 Terminator that grew tired of the '99/'01 amber tail lights so it was fairly easy. I'll make a thread with some pictures this weekend.

I am electrically challenged, just a fact of life. Is there any shop in Atlanta that could make this swap for me on my 03 coupe??

It's actually not difficult at all, bro. Fairly easy actually. Just time consuming...

All you do is install the tail lights, swap the harnesses, splice the green wire and run it to both tail lights, and cut the green wire underneath your dash.

Sounds complicating, but is really easy. :beer:
