Default ecode corner plug installation ?

I recently got the ecodes from ECS and discovered that the 2 pin plug for the corner lights does not match the car's 3 pin plug - duh. ECS Tuning says I can just snap off the third pin on the car's plug and then the ecode 2 pin plug will fit in perfectly. Has anyone else done it this way? Any issues? Thanks

Default Use the BLACK plugs from your US Spec housings

They DO fit into the ecodes. You don't need to break any pins off anything. You put 2 of the 3 prings into the ecode and you can turn the plug just slightly enough so the 3rd pin slides in, since it's soft plastic.

Default Oh.. well then you have to do what ECS says

Or you can cut the US Spec connector end OFF, get a Euro spec one and solder it on.

Default Aren't those single filament housings? You'll only be able to use them as turn signals...

...I didn't like that, as you lose the amber parking lights...doesn't seem as safe with just city lights & turn signals only.
