Swapping Dr30 Taillight: '83 Rs Turbo To '84 Rsx - Confused?

[ChokudoriDR30]

I decided to swap the tails on my DR30 from the '83 style to the '84 style:

From these:

To these:

Upon looking at the RS-X tails, I realized that the plug that goes to the rectangular relay between the two lenses is different on the '84 (8 prong) and '83 (6 prong). Can I just use the relay from the '83 tails or do I need to rewire the entire taillight harness... This swap can't be that difficult, can it?

Just change the wiring, all will be good!

Use what ever you need to fit to your car.

George,

The lights you refer to are common to nearly all Paul Newman Versions and black background, as in pic, common, to other HR30's, but the question at hand is the plugs.

There is a good chance that, if you took your lights out and tried to fit them to a later model, the looms would be different.

But saying that, if your car was built in the latter half of '83, as most PNV were, yours would probably be the same.
