Default 08 tc tailights on an 05

Hey guys,
Got a quick questions for you. I have searched and came up with nothing to answer my question. Trying to upgrade the tail lights on an 05 TC to an 08, but when I got the light out and got the new lights in, the reverse light socket did not match up. The 05's socket is much smaller than the 08's. Where can I buy a socket that will fit the 08 tail lights, or is there a number that I am supposed to be searching for? I am assuming that would be the easiest way to do it, just to wire a new socket to the 05's harness.

Thanks!

Sounds like you didn't get the 3 bulb harness. When I sold my '08 tails I sent the 3 bulb harness with mine. The multi-pin plug is the same on all years tC, I think.

the dealership will have to order it because they probobally don't keep one in stock. if you decide to go this route, take your tail in with you when you pick it up, to make sure it fits.

you might checkout a junkyard as well.
