Hi, All-

I picked up a couple of nice, original CIBIE taillights recently to replace the Scantech ones I bought several years ago. The Scantech taillights deformed and melted a bit around the brake light bulb holder, which I guess is a common problem.

My questions is this: The taillights I bought are apparently newer and only have 5 wires connecting to them, where the old ones had 6. On the original taillights, there is an extra connection beneath the brake light, and it appears a yellow wire goes into it.

Any ideas on how I can make sure these new lights work?

Thanks in advance.

Aaron
