Eric,

The euro tail lamp differs in some bulb placement (and the provision for a single, one side, tail fog light, red) but still has a spare unused postion.

Better plans would be to add a contact to the existing unused position in your lights. Means making a tab like contact to fit . I haven’t done that but let me look at my spare parts this evening ti see if I can make it more clear.
