Default Euro Taillamps installed

Yes, I was finally able to finish and successfully install a set of Euro lamps. Found a set laying around on a 92 convertible w flat tires. I was able to do the install w cutting ONLY two wires and setting up an easy conversion back to stock if desired.
I'll include a few pics next. Thanks to =Jeff= and to WVZR-1 for their posts on similar threads. Everything works as it should.

I love mine, Mark H. helped me getting them wired up when he was up in WAZOO land. Love the look.

BTW, did anyone realize they now make LED bulbs that replace our brake/taillamps? Anyone use them? Not cheap at AZ. $20/pair. I'll post some pics soon.

Actually Dom $20 a pair is pretty cheap for any kind of quality. Some of the new blubs are non error and have a resister built in

Awaiting the post up

I think these lamps work best w color in the red family, JMHO.
Here's the finished product. Everything works as it should. Red for brakes and running lights, Amber for signal and 4way.
One issue I overcame was that 2 of the lights were missing dividers between top and bottom so I made some from sheet aluminum. Works great.
BTW, these are genuine GM parts, not replicas from Mid America, not that it really matters to me much.
I was able to disconnect the white wire from the brake switch without cutting it. I removed it from the harness connector at the switch. The brake applied signal comes from just behind the halo pillar light and routed a line to the back.

So are you going with the LED bulbs?

I am not right now, which is why I asked if anyone has used them. W Euros, that's $80 for 8 lamps. I went on Amazon and fl a bay to see if I could find the same ones I saw at AZ.
