I've got euro tail light lenes... I know there is a wire that has to
be changed before you put the housing back in the car so that you have red stop lights and yellow turn lights. Which wires to you change ?? Thanks CHuck |

No wires to change. Just swap the lenses.

Banned but not out, yet..

There is a total mis-perception of what has to change with European lenses. First, leave all the wires the way they are. Second install new lens.
Glad to help clear things up.

I had done this on my 83SC. I FAILED state inspection due to yellow
brake lights. I had to swap some wires to get red brake lights in the euro lenses. This was 6 or 7 years ago... may be different now. Thanks for the help.... glad I posted this !! sure will save me some time. Chuck |

Chuck-
Sounds like your car had a previously existing wiring alteration that used the signal lights for brake lights. Normally, the red taillights and brake lights are one double filament bulb that only show through the red portion of each style of lense.
