I dropped some parts off at the local shop to get black powder coat. they had some sweet glossy black rear signals that I bought on a whim. Turns out, after getting home, the new wires are both too short, and they are two-wire while the stock setup is three. I know I can always splice wires to lengthen the new ones.... But is a two-wire compatible with a three? If not, has anybody had any success gutting the interior and just swapping the metal housing?
