H3 vs H3T tail lights.

[Danno]

What are the differences between the two? Mounting, wiring, dimensions? Can they be easily modified to fit?

The entire taillight is different in shape. The tops on the h3 are round and T are square

From memory the shape is about the same, however, the other top corner is more rounded on the H3t



But if I remember correctly the H3T lights are a bit taller; however, they were used in H3's produced in S. Africa plant due to lighting laws in some countries that the S.African H3 would be exported to.

However, the wiring is totally different.

The BCM controls the park/ and the turn signals bulbs and on the H3 there is only one circuit wire required for the park/brake/turn/signal bulb; whereas, on the H3t there are two circuits requiring one for park/brake another for turn. Many countries require the turn signals to be amber vs. in the USA they can be amber or red.

I don't know about the shape, they look the same to me overall, but the lighting and wiring is different. The H3 only has two bulbs: stop/turn and reverse. While the H3T has three: stop, turn, and reverse all separate.

No idea if you could modify one to fit the other, I think you'd just have to buy the housing for each and see how they match up.

The mounting points are spaced differently between a 3 and T lights. I had both side by side when I was wondering if guards from a 3 would fit.

Did they work

No. The lower mounting for the H3 guards goes through a trim cover that is no present on the T. Besides after standing back and looking at them I realized they looked fine on a 3 and ridiculous on the T for some reason.
