Default Installing 08/09/10 Tail Lights on 2006 tC?

Hi everyone. I just bought a 2006 Scion tC and am not feeling the Tail lights. I am wondering if the OEM ones on the 2008/2009/2010 tC's will fit on the 2006's. These are the ones I am talking about:

IBTF

You're going to catch hell for this...bad...really bad.

Yes they'll fit unfortunately. You just bought you car and you're doing 1 of the things on the "WHAT NOT TO DO TO A tC" list.

Oh and the 08+ have a different harness than the 05 - 07 so i'm not sure if it'll be a direct swap if they do have a different harness.

You need to remove the bumper to swap them too.

o man your doing the opposite of what any one else would do, but any way if you like them thats fine, the o8 tc's have different wiring harness to it then the 05-06 tc's but other then that you should be fine....but keep your stock ones just in case

It should fit. Seeing that some switch out their '08 tails for the older tails w/ no harness complications. You also don't have to remove the bumper to install them.

The problem comes when trying to switch out the headlights.

The bulb harnesses are different, so he would need a 08 tail light bulbs harness. Other than that it would be a easy swap. If you were located in va i would do a trade, lol

better then the fail version they call 08's.

only ones i would reccommend are anzo' in red/clear. regular TYC's or RS3 TYC's which are hard to find, OR Feint tail lights which are REALLY rare to find
