no more 01 harness!
Well I don’t know if this was covered before or not but I been looking for a while now.
So this morning I decide to take my taillights off and try 2 rig up a 01 harness trying to save them 80$..So to my surprise all the bulbs fit directly on the 01 taillight except the reverse light. So I was thinking if they sell just pigtail of the reverse light just switch it with the 98-00 style pigtail and you just made yourn 01 harness. (im currently with no reverse)
This may not be new to the older members here on Cl but some of the new guys may find this help full. But nothing better then OEM thou quality.

you can always find some universal ones and shave off some tabs to make it fit if thats not a problem, me personally i like everything to be oem fitted incase moisture and stuff builds up. ask Aliga and see if he has any salvaged gs's he can pull a plug or 2 off for ya. He usually has alot of SC parts but every now and then he comes up with a few GS's

hey,
to me the 01+ harness was just a good waste of $150 canadian dollars. so 2 years ago when i discovered the only different thing from the 98-00 harness was just the reverse plug, i went to canadian tire and found a plug that would fit into the reverse hole.
found one (there are plenty by the way).
snap/cut/chop/ old reverse plug off and then solder/electrical tape/ join the new plug to the where the old reverse plug was chopped off.....wholla.
all in all...20mins for everything. hardest part being unscrewing the tailights which on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being hard is a 0.5
$150 saved......well actually to spend on another mod...lol
