Does anyone know if you can put the 2007-2008 tl taillights on a 2005 tl? And if you can is there anything that you would have to do to it like mod it or anything???

 

It's a direct swap. I believe you just take the lights out of the old tail lights and install them into the new one's. Someone can chime in to confirm.

 

Search search search!!!! It's getting annoying when people don't even look through the site when you sign up. Yes they will fit

 

As stated, it's a direct swap.

Have fun =)

 

they'll fit, you'll just have to swap out the led boards.

 

 

CJ, thats lovely.

 

Just a quick note for OP - swapping the taillights does involve removing the rear bumper as well; it's not hard and what I would consider an essential skill for any prospective DIY'er.

 

yes that's great. Did you tint the lights somehow? Love how the white in the tails looks silverish like the paint.

 

Yeah the one way I'd consider putting the 07-08 tails on my WDP would be if I could tint the white part. I think it is too bright. Love the Indiana plate and corn in the background. That's really how it is.

 

Sorry to threadjack, OP. 07-08 base tails look really nice though!



Nope not tinted. They're Depo 07-08 base tails and they tend to look a tad darker than the OEM ones, which I too like. I've thought about getting a few strips of really really light tint just to make it a little darker.

Haha, yes. Stereotypical Indiana for ya! Where I live is just down the road from cornfields, yet downtown Indy is only 15 minutes away.

 

Agreed nice pic...nice taillights too...oh wait I have them on my 07' lol

 

not really

 

They are a direct swap.
You don't necessarily have to remove the whole bumper. Search the 3G Garage for the DIYs on tail lights.
You will have to swap the LED board to the new lights. Be careful while doing this---if it is not fitting perfectly, back off and try it again. New ones are expensive.
Buy a new set of washers or grommets or whatever the rubber seals are called. They are cheap and good insurance against fogging.
