Just Plug and Play. Just plug the main/bigger connector and tuck away the smaller connector. There's also alot of DIY on this thread about upgrading from 03 tail lights to 06 tails. GL

Now if he had the JDM LEDs (like the ones you have) then YES the ridges need to be shaved.

1) Open your trunk and pop out the snap caps to the bolts.
2) Take out 3 bolts on each side.
3) Pop the lights out. (Be careful not to break the plastic tabs)
4) Pop the harnesses off.
5) Connect the large harness only on the 06+ lights on your 03-05 Z. and leave the small harness off. (Might be a good idea to tape up the small plugs with electrical tape)
6) Put everything back in reverse order.
No shaving or ridges need to be modified. 06 lights sit flush like the old ones.

Yep Karl is right. Just tuck away the second plug, and that's it!
