How to upgrade the tail lights on 96-98 to the new style
Since it was hard for me to find the propper guidance I thought it may be helpful to others to have some sort of reference in the future. It wasn't that people didn't do it, just that they forgot which wires etc.
First off, parts:

8D9 945 095 E left tail light
8D9 945 096 E right tail light
8D9 945 257 bulb holders, I believe they come as a pair (check with dealer)
Next is the wiring. See the two following pictures for the new wire locations and numbers. I used a small screw driver to push the tabs up inside the plug. It's a pain in the *** the first time but you'll get the hang of it quick.

and a after shot

Thats it, enjoy

Excellent illustration, SScott!! Btw, I believe 'Teamishun' has a pair of 01's for sale
for those interested. They're pretty much brand new w/o a scratch. And, no, I' m not getting commission for this , just informing
