So for those that have done the REAL Euro swap, what needed to be done to the wiring to move the signal bulbs and reverse lights?

There's an electronic trailer wiring module that changes a "one-bulb" tail / brake / turn system into a "two-bulb" system ... sort of the reverse of the typical module you find in crappy tire etc, that allows "one bulb" trailer lights to work with "two-bulb" cars.

I bought one to use on the Fusion but never got around to it ... and will now use it to wire the Euro tails I got for the Focus.

Oh, and BTW - LOL - I bought two to them just because they were hard to find and the shipping was the same for one as for two.

I might be persuaded to part for my extra one if you think it's what you need ... and it is.

EDIT: and yeah, I did the wiring mod at the GEM thing to wire the Euro tails on the '07 wagon ... it was a pain in the butt and would have been a nightmare to reverse ... that's why I looked for an alternative for the Fusion, and that's how I came up with the module mentioned above. It's wired at the rear of the car at the lights and is easily reversed if needed.
