HOW TO: Jap-spec your BG Tail lights
Well here is another cheap mod for all you BG owners. If you seen an import astina they have twin tail lights. on the australian models the inside pair of of lights isnt used. your tail lights are held in by 6 bolts but first you will need to remove the boot lining and the center platic panel between your tail lights. this is held in with about 6 screws. your lights should look like this
note the unused light I used a spade bit to drill out the hole ... be careful to remove all of the platic shavings that fall inside the light. and hey persto ... a hole Using a pair of light globe sockets from supercheap i spliced them into the loom and when secured into the holes .... dum dum da!! Jap style tail lights!!!

Yeah I like too, I think I'll be doing that!
What size spade bit did you use?? And also, how did you get the globe socket to stay in place?
