I have an '07 3 sedan but I've been thinking about changing my tail lights to the all red tails that the older 3's come with. Can someone tell me if they will fit my car and if the older 3's had the same number of bulbs? Thanks

And I have an '06 sedan with the red (plastic?) and I've been wanting to change it to the clear.. Any suggestions as to how I go about doing this? :?

Yes they can be swapped from year to year. I'm not 100% sure about how the 2007 GT led lights would work with 2006 wiring... otherwise you two can swap taillights

Sorry for the stupid question, but my car comes with led lights? I thought it was just some kind of blacked out altezza looking regular tail light.

Why don't you want to keep the LED's? Those are hot man!

The LED's are on the S Model, look almost like crystals. The regular lights are red and clear (although you can see the orange bulb). If you have red in your tailight, it's the normal 2007. If you have clear tails all around, it's the LED's.

im pretty sure step one is you 2 trade lights

its an easy process, there are explanatiosn how if you look around on the forums.

im not positive, but i thought i read somewhere that the wiring for the LED tails is the same. it would make sense that they would be for ease-of-production-sake. i might be thinking of the aftermarket tails though.

i do like them and they do match the color of my car (black mica), but i've always been a fan of all red tails

I have a set of 2006 Red Tails for sale!

 

[troistresthree]

how much?

 

[M3i-NTS]

Make an offer. Im pretty reasonable.

 

[troistresthree]

i dont wanna make an offensively low offer since i don't really know what the market for OEM tails is...

 

[M3i-NTS]

I can do 100 shipped.

 

[Mummyman]

Take a picture of the lights on your car tro, I'm interested to see which one's you have.

Hey, if you want to do the swap, let me know, you can have mine for the ones you have (no cost).

I dont have a digital camera right now, but they're black. are there LED and non-LED black housing tails? or are all black housing tails LED tails?

 

[ziegs2020]

These are the standard 2007 ones.

These are the 2007 LED design ones (obviously it would be on the sedan, but the design inside is the same).

 

[troistresthree]

anyone selling their red sedan tails?

 

[M3i-NTS]

Me.

 

[3zilla!]

the sedan s grand touring is the only model that comes with LED's . . . so if thats your model you've got led's . . . not to screw this up for the other guy, but if you have these i would never trade them cause they look hawt! i wish i had them . . . the msrp on the LED's is like $750 :shock:
