So, recently swapped my '03 OEM headlights for a set of '04/'05 OEMs, just because I like the looks a little better. Picked up the harness from suvlights.com, no problem.
Turn signals, though, are another issue. (Duh).
I know this has been covered before, and I've dug through every thread I can find, but can't be sure I'm looking at the right thing.
I've got the actual sockets that plug in to the turn signal housings, and was thinking of trying out the non-cut conversion from the How-To section:

But without the pics/some sort of reference, I'm at a bit of a loss. He hasn't been on in a while, and no pics=no clue for me LOL!
So, figure I might as well just cut the harness and replace the harness-side connectors.
I'm pretty sure I'm looking at #8 in this photo for the harness-side connection for the turn signal, but like I said I'm not 100%.

In addition, not sure if I'll need pigtails, or if I can just run the existing harness leads right in to the new harness-side connections.
So, any help with part #, experience, whatever would be greatly appreciated! Let me know what you guys know! Maybe we can get some final, solid answers down and put this one to bed. :mbiggrin:
