Taillamp assembly replacement

Hi,
I would like to know if the 09 tail light assembly will fit in the earlier models?

Thanks

No.........I don't believe they will without doing some cutting to the bumper.

It would then look like this..................something I personally don't care for.



Think you'd be better of getting an 09 bumper to fit.

Nope the bottom sticks out to much. If you could fit the 09 rear bumper than maybe?

it will stick out a bit, the bumper isn't really the problem.

and you have to enlarge the center hole so the light will fit.
