[QUOTE="shurur, post: 13100431, member: 113850"] The 99-01 Cobras have a 4-wire rear tail light system vice a 3-wire. That is the lights have an extra socket/wire dedicated to the turn signal only. You can just modify GT tail lights for the turn signal socket: 1. File down the plastic nipple where the turn signal goes in the lower corners. The location is clearly marked by "Do Not Use" in the corner hole location;-) This is the difference between GT lights and 99-01 cobra Lights. 2. Drill a small pilot hole at the filed-down point. 3. Drill a 1" hole with a hole saw..slowly. 4. With a cheap set of small files, make keyed slots for the turn signal socket, test fitting as you go. You can cut out one of the turn signal sockets and do this at your leisure while you watch TV, then reconnect the turn signal socket by soldering or using butt connectors. IF the socket is loose, silicone aor another rubber/urethane type washer can be used to build it up for a tighter fit. My amber tail lights were missing when I bought my car and the signal jerry-rigged to the center brake light. Some terminator or GT out there has them. Look at it this way, some jealous prick would have broken or stolen one or both of them at some point anyway. [/QUOTE]
