2G Tail light bulb issue.

[91dsm]

Im hooking back up my tail lights and I dont understand how these connect to the tail lights. I pulled them from the junk yard last year and sure they were from an eclipse and not a talon. There are 3 slots for the bulbs and I already have the far slot of the tail lights filled with the bulbs coming directly from the rear interior loom. So I basically have an extra bulb and none of these seem to fit correctly. Can anyone find a picture of exactly how these hook up ? Thanks.

While searching for tail light sockets I came across this picture . This is for a 97/98/99 Eclipse but it does look like what you need . Even the beige socket free standing is like yours..

Your welcome but looking at your tail light housing I don`t believe the links I posted will do you much good. The sockets they show for a 95 Eclipse will not fit your housing . If you look at the way they turn in the locking tabs are all wrong .. Sorry for getting your hopes up. I guess it`s back to the junk yard to get the right ones.

Here is the passenger side installed on my 99 Eclipse (sorry for the bad picture. It's a gloomy January day here in Michigan):

Here is a driver side taillight off the car with a set of bulbs installed, and a spare set of sockets so you can see how they mount, and what they look like:

Oops-- I forgot to post a picture without the gasket installed, that would be helpful right? :
