The bolts are 10mm but the rest is all correct. OP, remember to pull the lights from the top end (narrow end) and pull them outwards perpendicular to the car to save the tabs.

Yes, I already have an '06, but removed tails to replace turn signal bulbs

Just recently switched mine out a few days ago.
Fairly quick and easy to do.
Just keep in mind to be very careful and gentle
when taking them out and putting them in.
You could easily scratch te paint, or chip the lights
if you pry them out/in too hard.
Tools required: 10mm socket, flat head srewdriver,
and PATIENCE.

Thanks for the follow-up. I hate stories that don't have known endings.

I thought if you were upgrading the lights to LED, you had to buy a special wire plug up, because the 04 plug is different to the LED 06 plug.

Not true?

Simply buy the 2006 lights, remove old lights and replace with new lights?

Not sure why you guys think Nissan would make things less cost effective by not reusing the preexisting electrical plugs.

It's a Plug-N-Play (PnP) no cutting, no splicing. Thank you come again.
