Default Any way I can install these tails on my 05 tC? (INSTALLED!!)

Is there any way I could get these tails installed, otherwise I guess I have to return them. The wiring from the stock could be put in these, but the main problem I think is the plug for the brake light, which is different. I really want to get them installed though, pics are below. I apologize if the pics is blurry:

EDIT: After searching these boards and getting help from the responses below, I finally got them installed. They definitely look great and I'm really happy as this is one of my first exterior mods (also put in a S2000 antenna, but that doesn't really count). Thanks again, if anyone wants to see pics I'll see what I can do.

what do those look like from the front? where did you buy?... basically if they have a pos and a neg ... (which they should)... they just seach which wires do what in out tCs and connect them either through quick connects or cut them and strip the wires... pretty simple... do a search and find out which wires are which and play with em'...

Thanks for the input, my soldering skills aren't exactly good, ok not good at all, and my experience with these types of wires are lacking, so hopefully I can find someone who will help with me with this process as I'll most likely have to change the plug and get it rewired. BTW these are Sonar LED tail lights and I got them on eBay, so I guess the "you get what you pay for" saying applies here.

if its the same problem im thinking of... the one that i had... there is a diy on it somewhere here... but the long and short of it... take the middle two wires... and swap them... no soldering needed... just take a flat head and push them out from the plastic harness... look for the detailed thread somewhere here...

I found that DIY, and I assumed that the black plug in the above pic goes into the white socket. What I didn't know was that there was a brown socket for the ground, parking light, and brake light which is where it looks like that plug goes, but I didn't see it. Is that socket supposed to be on the stock tails?
