Well i ended up having to buy all new taillight bulb sockets to replace the existing Taiwan crap. Still havent been able to get the passenger side to fit properly, will work on it some more tomorrow. Pretty rediculous that Chinook would use cheap ass parts from Taiwan.

I am confused. Isn't the left and right side just mirror image? Why it worked on the driver side, but the passenger side is giving you problem?

How much difference are there between the OEM and the Chinese clone? I don't know how it looks, but if the difference is small, I wonder if you can dremel part of the bulb socket so that it is still functional, but shallow enough to get it installed on the driver side? Just a shoot in the dark here :)
