I have them on order and they will arrive Friday. Heres the scoup on the 04 tailamps..

They are not a direct bolt in since the brake lights are now a LED unit. Therefore you would have to splice or buy a new trunk wire harness (2004) which would run you another $300 on top of the price for the 04 tailamps..
I am going to buy the trunk harness. It will be done next week.. I will get pictures up next week... I am having second thoughts though. I may just go with the 03s instead. I am going to the dealer Saturday and am going to ask if I can take one of the tailamps out and physically compare it... Stay tuned for more info..

 

Since it is not direct bolt in so what needs to be done in order to fit them beside harness ?

 

I ordered the new harness and the lamps should be here next week. I am going to the dealer on Saturday to test fit. Will post Saturday night..
Alan sorry I bit off your mod list idea in your sig... I thought it was kinda cool

 

The bolt holes are different too.

Looks sweet

How much did you get the OEM lip for?

 

so, how much for the 04 front and rear bumper, and the oem front lip?

 

Has anybody absolutely confirmed that the bolt holes are different? I am thinking about ordering an '04 soon, but would be interested in trading with somebody who has an '02-'03 model to put the older tail lights on the '04 (I don't personally like the '04 taillights as much as the '02 and '03 lights). I could take the ones off of the '02 I have right now, but I'd likely be trading the car in for the '04 I'll be buying, so I doubt it would be possible.

Anybody interested in a swap, once all of the details are figured out on what it takes to do it?

 

i might be interested in a swap depending on how easy it is.....once jdms2000 gets the details posted, and if i really like the way they look, since i havent seen one in person yet!
