Well since the talon is officially parked for the season now, I started removing the rear off of it to convert it over to the 92 style rear end. I had to do a tiny bit of cuttin so far, but now I have it all figured out except one part. The electrical plug on the 92 tails is different then the 91, because there is an additional blinker bulb in the top orange part of the 92 tails that is not in the 91 tails. Has anyone else done this conversion? What did you do to make it work? Here's some pics to help explain my problem.
In the picture, the 92 tail is on the top, and my 91 tail is on the bottom. You can see how the top one has one extra bulb, and that it has a white square plug with four conductor pins, while the 91 tail is rectangle with only 3 pins.

That is going to look nice when its all done. Are you repainting the whole car?

Just wire in another bulb socket to whichever of the two existing ones blink from the 91 harness. Should be too hard, just play with adding on wires.
*sniff*
Man, at first I thought you took a pic of my car before you took the bumper off. Makes me get all misty-eyed for the good old days.

Well so far what i did is just remove the litte bulb wiring harnesses off the both sets of tails, and attached the 91 bulbs and plugs onto the 92 tails. Looks like it will work fine. All I'll have to do is take off that extra bulb socket off the 92 harness, and run some wires over to the other blinker bulb wiring. But now I ran into another problem. The little socket dealy for the blinker on the far corner of the tails, well apparently they were a different design, becuase it will not plug in. CVD, can I gank these 2 sockets off your car? It's just that one socket the bulb plug into, the ones that go into the very ends/corners of the rear tail lights.
Edit -Here is a pic that shows the piece I need. I need the grey/black plug connector dealy that the bulb plugs into and goes into that hole. Anyone have them? CVD are they still on your car?

And to answer your question Hughes, yes I'm getting the car painted. Same color, just going to lose the silver bottom. So I suppose the paint will look similar to Shep's car. But I'm leaving the 91 spoiler on there, and am debating whether to get that and the roof done in black, or do it all the Black Cherry color. Here's a pic of another person who did the conversion and left the 91 spoiler on. I think it looks sick!!
