I've done this.

You'll need to create a pair of small brackets to hold the lights in place.

Some photos to give you an idea







I've also got an UK light, and an USA light so I get 2 reversing lights, and the fog light is under the bumper.

Cheers for the pictures! I've just bought another set of ap2 rear lights from the states as I couldn't find a single

gee-money

Why would you want to swap them in the 1st place..... the ap1's one's look much better than the ap2 but each to there own i guess!

Yeah suppose it's a matter of opinion, I prefer the ap1 rear bumper but the ap2 tail lights

slightly concerned about fogging up but from what I've read it happens when the foam gasket isn't seated correctly. Think I'll just use silicone between the body and gasket and light and gasket and hope it doesn't happen.

AP2 tail-lights look better than the AP1's IMO.

Doesn't work we tried that.

Did you find where water was entering your lights? As they're brand new or were surely it's got to be a fitment issue with the gasket?

Where did you apply the silicon?

Found this - makes logical sense, I presume from reading this you could run clear silicon around the tail light where the glass meets the plastic and effectively create a 100% seal!

the 04 tail light is not a sealed unit by itself, but went its installed in the 04 the body and gasket seal it. But the 00-03 body does not fit the tail light correctly so there fore it is very hard to seal the light 100% I played with mine but once and awhile it does fog, not much you can do with it. But it worth it! Cause those tail light make the car!
