    [Need Wiring Help!] New Tail Lights, New Problems

    So recently I purchased new taillights for my E36. I however was uneducated and did not realize there are different tail light housing on different E36's. I thought they were all the same. So my car has different pins on the harness and my old tail lights than the new ones. Driver side I do not have the number 3 pin, passenger I do not have 3 or 7 pin. I will post pictures of this. However, my new tail lights have pins in every single spot. Running these tail lights blew my fuse. Further info: My car is a 1998 323is. It has the Check Control Module (CCM). Does anyone know what I can do to use these tail lights? I appreciate it.

    Involves cutting track and adding pin ( you could of course cut the track and extend the wire direct if no pin available from old lights)
    No warranty of any kind implied or given and no liability for any loss, damage or injury, no matter how incurred accepted.
