You can cut the plugs off and use butt connectors to put the 94 plugs on (the wiring colors should be the same) but I usually just swap the pins over inside the plug. Let me know if you dont have access to a later model to check which pin is which and I will try and get a diagram up for you.

Thats the funny thing about any kind of swap. The devils in the details. Great info.

Make sure you use good WEATHERPROOF scotchlock style heatshrink butt connectors. The plain non-heatshrink ones will eventually corrode out and cause you issues.
