theres a wiring difference if im not mistaken they will bolt right in though. Id keep the 03 tails, they look alot nicer

Brake light socket stays the same.
You will have to re-use your current 03 reverse light socket as your new 05 turn signal socket.
You will need to buy a new socket and bulb for the 05 reverse light.

They won't have the parts at a walk-in store, only the dealership. Or you can get them from Majestic

to be honest I prefer the newer 05 tail lights. Why does everyone hate the new one? lol Is it ugly?
