Default 2003-2005 Tail lights on 2007 model

I wanted to buy DEPO tail lights from EBay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/DEPO-...Q5fAccessories

Description says it will only be good for up to 2005 models. From my understanding, only wiring is different. Did anyone tried to do such thing as installing them on 2006+ models?

p.s I searched, couldnt find anything...

You will hate these....don't do it. I promise, just keep what you have (I assume the LED 06+ style). The ones you are going for will burn out quickly from experience. KEEP WHAT YOU HAVE!!! I have been through 4 different types of tails....you will go back to the OEMs...Nissan didn't mess up there!

No because no one is dumb enough to install those that have 06+ tails.
Please do yourself a favor and don't buy anything from eBay for your car.

Curious...why do you want these??? Because of the tint? Then get some overlays.

Thanks, guys. I thought that Z brake light might look good. But now I'm definately just leaving my old taillights where it was. Thanks again

It's not good. Plus, the opposite side will be an "S" instead of a "Z."

It wouldn't work anyways. Your car only has 1 plug on each side, 03-05'd have 2, so basically only half the tail would have lit or something. Good thing you aren't getting these now OP...awful...just awful.

lol at ricer avoidance.

i have been trying to do a set of taillights with the black housing but cant trust spending $400 to get the crome euro style taillights(so it will have the clear cover) they sell just to see if it will work.
hey wait does anybody have a set of those? and live around me so i can look at them. or send me a picture of the back and the side. then maybe i'll can make some of them

Cool

I have these tail lights and there's nothing wrong with them. The tail light has a bubble effect, which actually makes "pop" out, which I'm probably not describing too well right now.

Anyhow, I'd get em and **** what everyone else says.

Edit: Oh and I'm not sure they'll fit if you're 06+.
