Tail Light swap..

Im trying to figure out if the tail ligths from the 03 CL will fit on the 02 model.. I not sure if the specs are the same, but im sure someone has done it before.

You need 2 new harness pigtails & 2 bulbs as well for a direct swap.

can't you people do a search? seriously. 2003 was updated because of the clear turn signals, so the bulbs/sockets have changed. you need 2003 plugs and orange signal bulbs, i think 7440 or whatever. $10-$20 depends on what the dealer charges you for the plugs
