05 and 06 taillights are interchangeable, but the wagon and sedan lights are different.

I have the '05 and swapped with someone on NASIOC with the '06. The '06 uses a different wiring harness. So, you will need to hard wire yourself once you get them. If you have the '05's you will need to clip the wires (leaving enough room for the other guy to splice onto what you leave) at the sockets and leave the bulbs (the indicators are different). If you have the '06 you can just unplug the harness and ship as 'whole units'. When the person gets the '06 lights he will need to cut the plug that is left and 'hardwire' to the wires he has left dangling from his '05. The person with the '06 will need to cut off his half of the adaptor and hardwire to the stubs left on the '05 taillight wires.

After packing in bubble wrap and peanuts, shipping (Fed-Ex next morinmg $107/Fed-Ex next afternoon $67... remember, you both won't have taillights for a day) it is NOT a freeby. That being said we both love our 'new looks!

Photos of my '05 with '06 badge and tails can be seen by doing a search for the thread Wanted: Trunk Star-Badge From 2006

Wow. Must have been a sedan? NOT the same affair with the wagons :-/
