youre missing the sockets that the bulbs twist into (so you're missing the bulbs too) and that the wiring plugs plug into. I'm sure you could source them from honda, can't comment on price but I can't imagine them being too expensive.

Had the same issue, got them from honda cost about $20 if I remember right. If I remember right one set of bulbs can be used from the ap1 rear lights the other set I bought from supercheap.

You only paid for the tail light housing, not the bulb accessories.

i went peter warren today. they wanted me to buy the WHOLE light wiring which was like 600bux WDF? i found out i can also use the indicator adapter for the signal too just have to cut the shape thing off. doesnt anyone have spares? LOL that i could buy.
i went auto exel too.

www.cflhonda.com I think?
Order from the US... cheaper if you don't need it next day.

No I do not work for them - I just appreciate non-rip off prices.

some guy in SOCAL I think on S2ki does a full harness for the conversion. Think I saw it in the FS Classifieds section on that forum. Maybe this helps.

mmmmmm
i remember that i had to buy ap2 indicator sockets as well as ap2 indicator bulbs as the ap1 bulbs were too big
ap1 reverse bulb and socket fit, and brake one, had to cut the middle bit of the socket to get it to fit into the LED brake socket.

i just installed my ap2 rear lights, it seems to be gaps =s where the corner of the light meets the body and the rear bumper corner. shoudl there be any gap or should it be fitting 100% perfect?

I guess it would depend on how careful you were with your tracing, cutting and drilling of the body. Did you use the gasket correctly as a template for the tracing?
