Exclamation 2006 tail light cover replacement

Hello

I am wanting to change out my tail lights to the 07-08 style tail lights (the clear ones). Do I just need to buy the covers, or do I also need new tail lights to go with the covers?

I wasnt sure if the tail lights were different as well from what the 06 already has.

Thanks

So you mean just the covers? Not the actual tail lights?

LOL i just saw u have 3 post....here lemme break it down for u.....

the tail lights have 4 parts:

led board (same for all TL's and TL-S's)
plastic pieces (same for all TL's and TL-S's....they differ in color thow)
brake lights covers (i dont know the actual name)....now the 07-08 have clear....older TL's and type-s has red
lens (the full cover).....04-06 TL have it red....and all other models have it clear.....

when you buy the 07-08 tails....you get 2/3/4 and not the LED board !!! you will use ur existing LED board.....

I've always suspected that, but never asked to confirm it. I Guess that means that all years have red LED panels. Cool.

All years have red LEDs as brake lights. Also, all tails from 04-08 fit on all of the cars as well. They have DEPOs, OEM and Eagle eyes. IMO, eagle eyes are a waist of money, they are complete crap. DEPOs are somewhat off color from OEM, and do not fit sung all of the time. I had problems with OEMs fitting perfect so that is a hit or miss. You get what you pay for, GET OEM. Resale value is there on OEM as well.
