I really need some Help on back tail lights...bulbs...

Hey guys,

Earlier today I was installing my carbon fiber tailights and when connecting back the two bulb plugs I noticed there isnt a plug to go into the middle of the tail light ...the clear center used for when reversing.

Anyone know why this is happening? I now have two small, loose plug connectors that do not have a bulb going to it. Im thinking maybe I need to get a bulb plug to connect to the loose plug and add a bulb to it.

If I have to do that , what size of plug do I need and what size of bulb as well. Sorry if Im rambling on and on but Im not happy about any of this. I spend $100 for these tailights only to find this. Please help. Thanks.

I had the chrome ones. The yellow circles are where the holes are. There are 4 (FOUR) sockets for each and EVERY stock light bulb. The larger red circle is split in half (a top and bottom halves), so it will not light up whole like a chevy Impala's rear taillights.

I loved these at night. It was so easy to back out of my driveway because the 'reverse' light section wasn't shaded red. I could actually see what was behind me.

Since these are the generic altezzas, some of them may have been made defective. Check to see if you can 'push in' the hole yourself (like punching a hole into a sheet of paper with a hole puncher).

What might have happened was, when they were making your set, the molds may not have closed tight enough and some plastic may have gotten in between and looks like it closed up that hole. It's probably just a thin piece of plastic. See if you can poke through it.
