I ordered new tail lights for my car and they came in today. The bolts line up fine, everything screws in right, but on the light that goes on the trunk there are two bulbs that need to go in the light and there's only one hole on the light, so one is left dangling with nowhere to go. Anyone else ever have this problem or know of an easy way to fix it?

Here's a picture of the lights I got, I'll try to post a picture of the back of the light tomorrow.


I'd appreciate any help you guys can give so I can get rid of these ricey lights I have in now.

Here's a pic of the trunk light. If no one has any good ideas I'm probably going to ghetto rig it in there with duct tape haha.

Whoa all I would say is those are infected. If your can return them.

I don't even understand what that means haha. I got them on eBay so I can't really return them, I want to try to make them work because the lights I have now are horrible.

I mean he sold you some lights that weren't complete or were junk.

I would say you are missing the piece that goes in to hold the bulb. seen this before on some aftermarket lights. either the lights didn't have the hole or some wicked setup. which i fregging hate and usually take the cheap altezzas out of the cars put them on the ground and drive over them. then find OEM haha.

Email the seller and be like: Hey guess what? the lights don't bolt up as your instructions say! anyways you could send me these parts so they are complete??

I emailed the guy and he said he is sending out the piece that I need today so I should have it by Friday. Until then I have the light in there with electrical tape because I can't stand the lame altezza lights that were on it before.

Thanks for all the replies everyone.
