i tried looking but couldnt find anything. maybe i didnt look right. can someone help me out, please.

 

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

 

Plug and play

 

NOT plug and play. I am going to save this info. I think I have typed it now in at least 4 forums and a half dozen threads. I did the swap. 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

 

so i just swapped my taillights. it was easy, took 30 min to unbolt mine, unplug mine, unbolt his, unblot his, plug his into mine, test all functions, bolt mine, bolt his, check each others cars out. say it looks good and it was done.

 

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

 

i have a 05 wrx and he had a 06 sti

 

i have 06 n i trade with 05, the light shape the same but 05 has 5 bulbs, n 06 has 4, u will have a extra line there.
