Turn signal plug adapters

I just bought a pair of front turn signal light for my 90 4 runner, but the plugs do not match up, the description said they would fit but they do not. I can post pics later but at the moment I'm at work. Do they make adapters? Or do I just by a different set?

Pics, part numbers would help the cause, and yes if cutting or mods are needed I would get what fits no sense in having a headache over something so simple......

If you can`t get the right lights it is a simple matter :jessica: to splice in the correct plugs from your old turn signals .

Just solder and heat shrink your good to go.

As of late I am soldering then using dielectric grease cover that with electrical tape then heat shrink .

To early to tell but it should keep out the salt and water in the winter.

Just what is wrong with your old ones??

I guess I can get some small female plugs and go directly to the prongs on the lights, or just get the correct lights.

I have connected the pig tails from LED lights using small flat pins to plug into our sockets .

After soldering and protecting the pins and then taping and heat shrinking the whole connection.

Yes a pain to take apart but to me better then getting salt and moisture in there causing things to just corrode away .
