    they should but i believe you will need to do a 3 bulb to a 2 bulb conversion....

    x2, they will fit but you either have to convert the bulb harness or the tails themselves

    I had a set just like them and they are great. I believe they are already ported for 2 or 3 bulb use

    Oh, so I should be able to just dremel out the third hole? I think I remember seeing that in a thread on one of these forums..

    You can but look for a plug first. sometimes they are plugged and you can just pop them out and they bulb holders fit

    buggman Do not touch the trim!

    I kinda like 'em too.

    If there isn't an extra opening for turn signals, a little work with a dremel & some jb weld will remedy that. :thumbsup:

    Well I went n picked up the tails last night.. $35 including the gas monies =)
    The cool thing is they look to be already ready for the 3 bulb application.. they have a third bulb/wiring on it in the middle hole(the one is just a reflector) and the top/bottom look to be reverse/brake.. haven't tested yet cause its been rainy and crappy today but I'm excited to get em on..
