Who ever said the tail lights are plug and play?? they are full of it.

for me the newer tails needed 4 168 bulb size sockets for the parking lights. my 03 had one large 1156 bulb for parking lights.

Its ok since i just grabbed 4 new sockets and put led 168 bulbs in it and added a accent trip kinda like the xc60's. ehh while i was at it i tinted the tail lights, both top and bottom. also tinted the rear bumper marker lights too.

here are the tails pre-installation

I'll get some pictures of it tonight.....also did a nice red led brake light strip under the tailgate....pictures to come later. stay tuned

The LED lights are AWESOME! Where did you buy them from? Can you do a video or write up on the wiring for those? Nice work man, I love it and it looks sharp, well done!!!
