94+ JDM MR2 taillight install problems

Whats up MR2 owners...I just recently recieved my 94+ taillight for my duce and come across a few problems with the install. The reverse lights do not have enough clearence and there is no plave to screw the ends of the taillights and the center panel. What kind of modification am I going to have to do to install the bad-ass lights. Anyone who has done this conversion, your knowledge would be appriciated.
Thanks for reading.

You will need to extent the wires on your reverse lights to make them fit... its not too hard. Also... the screws that go in the top for the 91 lights will not work on the 94 lights... so go to toyota and get all of the screws that hold the lights and center panel in. Other than that there shouldn't be any issues with fitment or getting them to mount up.

the center piece wont fit flush against the body so you have to get a rubber mallet and knock in the metal a little bit. dont indent it too much, but just enough to clear the new reverse lights.

and yes, if you use the stock harness (which is recommended), you will have to extend the reverse light wires.

There is no bracket... just bash the metal behind the center panel in a bit.
