Pretty simple, get the sockets. You need them.

there are no sockets from my original tails... its a push click lamp holder
the socketsthat i need for the kouki are smaller and lamps are smaller too
because the lamp sockets or hole in the kouki are smaller.

the original tails have only 2 sockets these are reverse light sockets that are lamps in the center garnish area. these sockets are bigger too.
the brake lamp and the signal lamp sockets is what i need for the kouki because they are smaller in size. the orginals dont have lamp sockets they used a push click(sideways) lamp mount.
thanks

what he is saying is that you need to somehow acquire the harnesses for the kouki tail lamps. you cant install the lamps without them. my best guess is to go ask a nissan dealer to get them for you. and while you are there get some butyl tape to seal the lights with. i believe that once you get the harnesses you also need to spice them with the older tails connectors because they are different.

I know this. What part of my response did you not understand?

Let me say it again. You need to get the correct sockets.
Call whoever you bought the lights from and get them. You can't do anything without them.

Go to the parts store. In the Electrical or quick repair section they should have bulb sockets.

The real answer is either get them from the owner OR make it yourself OR you will need to contact like courtesy nissan to see if they can source you the originals from Japan....
