2000 Chevy Suburban Tail Lights

I just finished installing this new light (I got the "Fiber Optic LED" light) and now it works nicely and looks really good. I was a little worried it wouldn't be red since the plastic is clear unlike the old one, but no worries there: the light is red. I kind of like that the plastic isn't red, but the light is. Again, it looks good. OK, now the annoyances: the wiring plug from the car (I have a 2005 Suburban) has a little retaining clip that hooks over a matching node on the light assembly and ensures that the plug remains connected and never vibrates loose. Unfortunately, the retaining clip did not reach quite far enough to hook around the node, so it didn't help to keep the plug connected. No matter how much I adjusted and pushed the plug, it wouldn't insert far enough to engage the retainer. In the end, I filed back the plastic node a bit so the retainer clip didn't need to reach as far, and that worked OK. During the negotiations, the pins inside the socket got bent, and I had to straighten them with needle-nose pliers, but it seems there was no lasting harm here. So overall, I'm happy with it. It works, and it looks really nice. But it loses one star for the annoyances with the retainer and the pins.
