yup - not only are the bulbs different (P21 type) the bulb holders are different and require different connectors to plug into the holders. Until I found a harness for sale I was resigned to the fact that I had to more or less create my own.
The issue, as Jamie alluded to, is that the turn signal function is now a different bulb than the brake light function and within the housing there is no reverse light - so altering the output from the stock harness is also required.
There are a lot of ways to do that, I chose not to cut and connect at the PCM and instead will be using a 2 to 3 adaptor - sort of the opposite of what you might use to connect a three-bulb car to a 2-bulb trailer.
