911R taillight questions
1) My housings have some small holes/bubbles in the top coat (pictured below). What's the best way to patch or fill these before I finish priming and painting? Caulk?
2) Does anyone know where to get a five-wire connector like the one AR Concepts uses to wire the lights? (pictured below)

r-gruppe rules mandate that those holes must be filled with special super small carbon fibers called Buckey-tubes. ...and finished to a 32 or better surface.
...or use toothpaste. Seriously, any paint filler will work.

I suppose I deserve that. I'm (obviously) not a body work guy--I didn't know there was such a thing as "paint filler"

two part putty. commonly called icing. do not use a single component filler, you will be sad later.

don't drive yourself insane - leave the real tiny holes; you will use a high build primer to fill those
keep your microscope locked away in its cabinet and stay calm |

use red finishing putty.. apply with a single edge razor (as your spreader) it will finish all of the small pin holes.
