2002 to 2005 Swap
2002 to 2005 Swap
Hey Guys,
Just got my hands on a pair of 2005 sedan tails (the ones with the circles not the squares)
I searched the forums for the 01-02/03-05 tail swap for sedans and all I came up with were hits for coupes. Quick questions:
- Is taking off the rear bumper idiot proof? Just a couple of bolts holding it there?
- Do I need a new wire harness and sockets?
- For those people that have done it (sedans not coupes) are the bulbs the same etc.
- Any other tips from the pro's *looking at you gearbox
Thanks

and to save you future grief, take off that stupid bracket on the bottom of the outer light piece thats under the bumper. that way if you swap lights again, you wont have to remove bumper.

Okay so I scored some 2005 tail's off of eBay, for 75 bucks + shipping to for a grand total of 100.
You think I got a good deal?
Anyhow they should arrive in about a week or so, here are some pics:
