Hi,
dunno if this has been asked before (sure it has may times
) but are the rear lights on the 6N and 6N2 cars identical??
looking to change tailights and theres a lot more listed for 6N so wondered if they fit strait in....
Cheers for any help

the sape is the same i think, but the bulb layout behind is different. to get round this the 6n owners susally fit 6n2 bulbholders.
whats wrong with the stadard ones...they're cool

so theoretically all i'd need is 6N bulbholders which i'm assuming would plug directly into the original loom?
Hmmmm...... jus want something different and think I might have found 'em

they are diffrent! to get the MK 5 lights to fit on the Mk 4's you have to drill a hole out so they fit flush, so im not sure if they'll seal
keep the standard ones they look well better!!!

It ain't that much of a rewire - one side is almost the same except you switch the top two round, the other side is inverted (and then swap the two around).
basically, the mk5 bulb holders are the same left and right - mk4 has a LHS and a RHS. Hence why one is inverted. Other than that, you swap the top two round because the indicator is now in a different place.
there's a post on here explaining the conversion mk4 - mk5, so it's a reversal of that for you
right side means slicing off the two studs on the plug that goes into the lightbulb holder. That allows it to be fitted the wrong way round.
After that, switch numbers 4 and 5, which should be Green/Grey and Brown. So turn the plug around, and switch the wires.
On the left side (Passenger for UK folks) you'll find these wires:
No1: Black & Red
No2: Black & White
No3: Black & Grey
No4: Black & Blue
No5: Brown
and you need to switch numbers one and two around. That's it.
