Not without modifying the rear bumper, due to the different shape at the bottom.

I actually saw a picture where someone put 04 taillights on an 02 without modifying the rear bumper. The lights don't dip down into the bumper cover too much - not as much as you think. That said, I still woudn't do it because there had to be some gap there to accomodate the taillight. Just because you can make them fit doesn't mean it's right.

my opinion is that the 02-03 tail lights are nicer than the 04-05 models, but to each their own.

bringing this thread back from the dead. Does anyone know how to do it or can help me install mine? I just did the JDM conversion with the wires, just need to put them on my car. I'll be willing to pay for your help.

they fit without trimming the bumper, just remove the black foam and itll fit. Its gonna hang over a little but its not really noticeable. ive read up on it a lot on nasioc as i have been planning on doing it
