Ok I searched this one out but so far I have nothing.
I'm pretty sure I can make the stock parking light socket work but the turn signal is way off. Stock has 3 tabs to secure it to the housing whereas the 99 has 4. It doesnt have to be perfect, just close enough.
What are you guys doing other than using oem cut/splice or the knightsport harness????

Went to all local stores around here...nobody has anything that fits. GM plugs seem to be a good match for the stock 3 tab socket.
I do have good news...sorta. The stock honda 3497 bulb socket might work! I'll try to get one on Monday to test it out...If it works it'll be a rather cheap and easy way to update the front end easy!

i fitted the pre 99 plug into 99spec front blinker/parking lights. it just took a little careful filing. mine now are like stock fitment. can push in and lock into place by turning

You got my hopes up with this one! unfortunately the AU 99 turn signals seem to be an close enough match with the US ones. Unfortunately, the housings I have are different...let me charge up the camera and take a few pics! that should clear up things!

In a moment of clarity...
took off the brake light assembly, removed the harness and its a close match! So my problem is fixed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will be ordering 2 brake light sockets to cut/splice into the turn signal harness.

Finally got the taillights harness! Its not pretty and it took about an hour but IT WORKS! The stock parking lights remain the same just need very little filling to enlarge the slots and trim the socket itself(match the gasket).
The turn signals were pretty much the same just using stock brake lights. Ideally you'd want to get a set and use the rear turn signal sockets. I chose to use the brake lights since I didnt plan ahead(now I have a dual filament bulb and an extra lead).
I'm charging the batteries for the camera so I'll be taking pics tomorrow. I just gotta try them on!

tried it out and the 5w bulbs seem a bit dim but it was pretty sunny. 2 of the bulbs were burned out but I verified both sides work.
