Does "anyone" have instructions for THIS type of Rear Tail Light?

ThankZ in AdvanZ

I just got done installing this exact one actually. I used OP's instructions on how to access the wiring and everything.

If it's the exact one I got, then the rear tail light will have 4 wires. Red, Green, White, and Black.

The 370z's tailight has 5 wires. Red, Green, a tan/peach color, a teal color, and a black color.

Splice the wires like this.

Red -> Red
Green -> Green
White -> Tan/Peach color.
Black -> Ground

I'm 99% sure its White -> Tan/peach. It's the wire right next to the red wire.

I did hit a snag with getting the 2 10mm bolt from the dummy light. What I ended up doing was using a drill and just drilled it at max speed for a few seconds. It'll end up melting the plastic a little bit and it'll come right off.
