i have a set of ser 1 and ser 2 tail lights.the ser 1 taillight wireharness has it for 3 bulbs and ser 2 they went to 2 bulbs.you know if u stick ser 2 lights on a ser1 car u get the tail light out light on the cluster.i like the look of the ser 2,if i used a heat guy and seperated the lens from the black back,can i stick the ser 2 lens on the ser 1 black housing.so i can keep using the 3 bulb harness and have the look of the ser 2 lens??
if i snip then i mess the harness up and the stupid light on my dash never shuts off.i want to do it that i can still use the ser2 lights on ser 1 car.with out the dash light on.or un;less someone knows how to shut the light off with out taking the bulb out

the top one is 10w, then below that is 5w.

you may have to pioneer a way to make these work,
maybe break the existing bulbs, solder the 2 ends of the resistor onto the 2 (internal)
globe ends.
also, the resistors can get rather warm, connect one to your battery, wait a few minutes.
then test the temperature (carefully ).

Ok im confused now
so the series 1 taillights have power going to 2 globes on the outer set of lights therefore you need to put a resistor in when going to series 2 lights which only have 1 set of globes on the outer taillights?
NOW
I have a series 2, I just bought some series 1 taillights
Will i need to change anything for them to work (the series 1 lights)?
Will there be enough power to work the 2 globes on the outer set of tailights?
