Trolling around on the forum for a while learning the ins and outs of my '03 and finally have a question to ask:
Anyone who's payed the egregious price for a 2006+ Clear tail light figure a cost effective way to wire it in?
The rear blinker bulb sockets on the combination light are a different design on the 06+ and while I have the 06+ sockets I have no connectors to attach to them that I can splice into my existing harness unless I pony up for a complete 06+ wiring harness. They are not available as seperate parts and seem to be proprietary to Honda.
VFRiderGal's thread should bring you up to speed. She had the same problem but did not arrive at a conclusion.

Hey Guys,

My options as I see them are to:
1. Construct/fabricate a connector from scratch to attach to the socket and splice into my 03 harness (of which I have little skill/experience)
2. Modify the bulb housing hole to try to accept the different tabs of the old (and larger diameter) turn signal socket
3. Swap the 06 clear lens onto my 03 housing (they're sealed by a glue, and will be time consuming/tedious/risking damage and water leakage)
Anybody who tried one of these options I'd love to pick your brain!
