Default How to install 08 taillights on 04 roadster?

Does anyone have step-by-step instructions as to how to install 08 350Z (LED) taillights on an 04 roadster? Somewhere on the internet I had seen step-by-step with photos but cannot find the site now! The later model LED has a different electrical connection then the older incandescent bulb taillights.

I hope that it is that easy! From what I understand though, 03-05 taillights (with incandescent bulbs) have a different electrical connector than the 06-06 taillights.

You will only use one harness. You might have to cut the side tabs for it to fit. PM me if you have problems but search first
