Couple Questions regarding 03 CLS....

-Do the 2003 CLS LED tails and black housing headlights bolt up to a 2001 CLS?

-Does the wire harness on the tails have to switched out to accommodate the LED lights? Or do the OEM 01 CLS bulbs plug right back into the tails?

-Will the OEM 01 CLS headlights bulbs and corner bulbs plug right in?



Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

not led lights

the 03 taillights are not leds, they're just bulbs with intricate red diffusers. and both those and the headlights should fit no prob, just dont forget about wiring up the hid.

they are not LEDs. They are a direct fit/switch.

Thanks guys for the help!

One more thing. "Wiring up the HID"?! Don't I just have to plug the bulbs back into the brakets of the headlights?

You will need some type of wire harness/connector from the '03 to wire up to the '01's harness if i'm not mistaken.

No problem. To be more specific, I believe it's the turn signal socket that you will need to replace. Do a search on 03 Tails and or socket and see what you come up with. Better to have all your info together before ordering them.

I know the 03 headlights can bolt up no problem to an 01, however I do believe the tail lights on an 03 are slightly different then the 01. In terms of wiring harness as Lord H mentioned, not impossible though.
