Im trying to replace my messed up TYC tail lights because i got into an accident...
and the dealer is asking me which tail lights i would like to replace them with...
my first choise were the red/white anzo tail lights.
PROBLEM IS:

its 05-07, and my car is a 2009.

is it really true that it wont fit my car?

They will bolt up fine yes. The reverse bulb is the difference between the 05-07 bulb harness and 08-10. The plug for the 05-07 pushes the bulb in further into the housing like it should. Now some that have an 08-10 claim they have ran them no problem. I switched to the 05-07 bulb harness to run them as they should and be sure of no issues(I happened to have a set of 07-10 taillights in storage with the harnesses still installed).

dude seriously... thanks a bunch.. i nearly went emo when i saw the damages of my tail lights... i was like DAMN they sure as hell wont replace these TYC's... so im like.. go with my other first option.. ANZO...

so i guess i'll just tell the dealership to go on with the order of these babies, and wire them up with the 05-07, and i should see no problems correct? =]

No problems at all, I'm running the 05-07 bulb harness that's pictured(the one with the longer reverse bulb plug).
