79 tail lights

[79er]

Here is my thought process before I begin cutting and splicing wires. I'm restoring a 79, I have new in the box factory Toyota tail lights for a 78. I have both male/female connectors for a 79. Im thinking I can splice a 79 connector to the 78 wires on that tail light. only issue I see is I may have to take the white wire w/ blk stripe (ground) and attach it to the frame as the 78 doesn't have that wire. am I missing something? thanks

Can you pull the wire terminals from the 78 plug and install them into the 79 plug and add a ground to the fixture,?
