Default JDM rear LED taillights

I have a 2008 Z, and was looking at the
Genuine NISSAN OEM Taillight Assem"bly for the Japanese Domestic Market 350Z (Z33). Direct replacements with no modifications needed. Just plug them in and you're done. Both left and right lights are included in price."

My question is are these plug and play without any modifications necessary? no extra harness that needs to be taped off, etc.?

I have been searching the forums and retailers, and some retailers say no modification, while others say minor modification needed. I know the harness for the 03-05 is different for the LED and needs modding. But I am trying to found out if this is a direct replacement for the 2008 z.

Thanks for any relevant information. And pictures of install on a 2007 up would be nice.

Why would you replace what you already have?

he's talking about the clear JDM optional equipment. I've read that 08's are supposedly direct replacement as well, but the harness modification (if needed) is literally a 5 minute job with a pair of wire cutters (to remove the tabs on the side of the harness).

Well, there is a slight modification you have to do to your plug in order to make it fit correctly. I know there was a thread about how to mod the plug, but i'm just lazy to search. If you plug the JDM tails to your plug, you can actually tell what needs to be filed down. Its very easy, and it can be done within 5 minutes with a filer.
