No probs on the compliments, and Adam had his tails tinted by a place
called Jon's Tinted Tails, they look great, and allow more light to get
through than his previous home tinting job. As for connectors, I looked for
equivalent connectors/wire colours on my B3 Passat harness, traced it back
as far as I could, amputated it and connected it in. I figure '91 is a lot
newer than '79. Many of the other wires are from other newer dead VWs. I
consider the harness one of the most important parts gleaned from that poor
Passat.
