are all 7th gen taillights the same?

Looking around I'm starting to think there was an OEM change around '03.

Havent' had my new ride a week, and some jackwagon smacks the back end in a parking lot. New trunk lid has been found - even the same color.

Looking for a pair of tail lights. Cruising craigslist, but am unsure if I can look at 01-05 or something else.

And obviously, my search-fu is giving me a big fu.

Sounds like coupe ??

01-03 had a U shaped reverse lens, 04-05 is round. And sockets may not interchange 100%.

In sedan 01-03 really only has a different look to the lenses compared to 04-05, and 04-05 has amber signal lights.

04-05 it is then. I much prefer the amber turn signals.

Thank you very much.

Not sure if sockets will match or not.

If not cut/splice/solder/heat shrink.

Sedan requires bumper removal for tails.
